Abstract:
Embodiments discussed herein relate to accessing a digitized image associated with a patient of tissue demonstrating breast cancer pathology; segmenting a tumor region represented in the digitized image; segmenting collagen fibers represented in the tumor region; computing collagen vectors based on the segmented collagen fibers; generating an orientation co-occurrence matrix based on the collagen vectors; computing a collagen fiber orientation disorder feature based on the co-occurrence matrix; upon determining that the collagen fiber orientation feature exceeds a threshold value: generating a prognosis of the region of tissue as unlikely to experience breast cancer recurrence; upon determining that the collagen fiber orientation feature is less than or equal to the threshold value: generating a prognosis of the region of tissue as likely to experience breast cancer recurrence; classifying the patient as high-risk of recurrence or low-risk of recurrence based, at least in part, on the prognosis; and displaying the classification.
