Tumor hypoxia and blood vessel detection: an image analysis technique for simultaneous tumor hypoxia grading and blood vessel detection in tissue sections.

We have developed a multistage image analysis technique for the simultaneous segmentation of blood vessels and hypoxic regions in dual-stained tumor tissue sections. The algorithm, which is integrated in a task-oriented image analysis system developed on-site, initially uses the K-nearest neighbor c...
