"Tumor cell isolines" was invented by Eric Cosatto (Red Bank, N.J.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and systems for processing a scanned tissue section include locating cells within a scanned tissue. Cells in the scanned tissue are classified using a classifier model. A tumor-cell ratio (TCR) map is generated based on classified normal cells and tumor cells.
