Abstract

Histopathology remains a cornerstone of disease diagnosis, yet manual examination of tissue slides continues to face challenges related to time, subjectivity, and variability among pathologists. The complexity of interpreting H&E staining, nuclear morphology, and biomarker expression further increases the burden on clinical workflows. To address these limitations, the Histopathology Image Analysis Tool has been developed as an automated, web-based platform capable of quantifying tissue characteristics with high reproducibility. This tool performs image upload, cell detection, nuclear density calculation, and distance measurement, alongside specialized modules for H&E stain deconvolution and immunohistochemistry (IHC) biomarker scoring. Using pixel-level computations, it determines hematoxylin and eosin intensities, nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, and biomarker expression patterns, including Allred and H-score metrics. The platform also incorporates standardized interpretation guides for ER/PR, HER2, and Ki-67 scoring. By integrating quantitative morphometric analysis with rule-based diagnostic interpretation, the tool accelerates tissue evaluation, supports research workflows, and improves reporting consistency. It represents a significant step toward automated digital pathology and enhances diagnostic precision across clinical and translational settings.
