Image analysis of histological features in molar pregnancies

作者:

Highlights:

• Molar pregnancy moles represent a diagnostic challenge for histopathologists.

• A new approach is developed to identify essential morphological criteria.

• The approach focuses on detecting histopathological anomalies of villi.

• Early experiments can classify successfully villi into its appropriate regions.

• The analysis shows no reliable single criteria to classify.
