Automatic classification of antinuclear antibodies in diagnosis of autoimmune diseases
Abstract Identification of antinuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) within HEp-2 cells images is a golden standard in diagnosis of autoimmune diseases. This process involves analysing slides through a microscope and classifying characteristic staining patterns indicating the presence of certain autoantibodies. If done manually, such classification is highly time consuming, prone to errors and requires well trained medical…
