Abstract
A method of measuring a characteristic optionally a clinical characteristic of a cancer test cell sample comprising: characterizing nuclear organization of DNA of the test cell sample: obtaining DNA image data of the cancer test cell sample nuclei using microscopy, processing the image data using granulometry to obtain one or more data points corresponding to DNA occupied space and/or DNA low space; and quantifying a feature of the DNA occupied space and/or a feature of the DNA low space.
