| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From a viewpoint of evidence-based medicine, the systematic way of quantitative measurements have attracted interests in medical imaging processing. Focusing on the topological features of medical images, we present a methodology using computational homology for quantitative measurements in collaboration with diagnostic doctors. Our research consists of two folds: First, we apply computation of cubical homology to a micro-CT dataset of tendon graft model in rabbits to investigate the connectivity of bone trabecular. The Betti numbers are useful in the stereological description for topological feature of sponge like structures. Second, we propose a quantitative evaluation method for immunohistochemical labeling based on persistent homology. Using the pathological image data of invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, we investigated the correlation between the newly defined persistent homology-derived index and the traditional visual scoring of nuclear grade and Ki-67 labeling index.
