Abstract:
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is one of the most common types of non-Hodgkin's lmphomas in the world. Diagnosis of FL is based on morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics found on tissue sections. Our project's aim is to develop computer-aided analysis tools on virtual slide images (VSI) of lymphoid tissues with the purpose of improving the FL grading performed in malignant follicles. In this paper, we focus on the first step of our work, an automated system for detecting follicles in VSI of lymphoid tissues. To mimic the human expert process, the system works on low-resolution CD20 images and maps the follicle boundaries on high-resolution H&E images.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
