Quantifying the tumour vasculature environment from CD-31 immunohistochemistry images of breast cancer using deep learning based semantic segmentation by Tristan Whitmarsh, Wei Cope, Julia Carmona-Bozo, Roido Manavaki, Stephen-John Sammut, Ramona Woitek, Elena Provenzano, Emma L. Brown, Sarah E. Bohndiek, Ferdia A. Gallagher, Carlos Caldas, Fiona J. Gilbert, Florian Markowetz

“…Abstract Background Tumour vascular density assessed from CD-31 immunohistochemistry (IHC) images has previously been shown to have prognostic value in breast cancer. Current methods to measure vascular density, however, are time-consuming, suffer from high inter-observer variability and are limited in describing the complex tumour vasculature morphometry. …”
