The Laboratory for Processing and Analysis of Microscopic Images conducts research in the field of processing and analysis of microscopic images and their sequences created in various types of microscopy. The images document the behavior or condition of medical and biological samples relevant to the medical research and practice. The analysis concerns both the quantitative description of cells and tissues, and their qualitative description - tissue architecture, cell dispersion or aggregation, as well as the description of the behavior and dynamics of cell growth in cell cultures. For quantitative analysis, the methods of object recognition, detection, and segmentation in the classic version, as well as the modern methods based on neural networks, are used. The results of our work support the physicians and biologists in the difficult time-consuming assessment of stained tissue sections or cell smears with automatic or semi-automatic methods of computational pathology.

Performing a research on methods supporting the evaluation process of virtual slides means digital versions of stained tissue preparations in neoplastic and inflammatory diseases in order to propose and verify methods of supporting physicians in their diagnostic, predictive or prognostic work. Organizing the data preparation process and conducting the explainable neural network learning based on the needs reported by cooperating pathologists or clinicians. Preparation of software that performs the inference and testing using a large set of data, correlation the results of analyzes with the quantities and divisions into classes and categories, as well as therapeutic facts, etc, proposed by physicians. Publishing the methods and tools for research and the results of applying methods to solve some specific categories of medical problems in journals with IF>1.
