Follicular lymphoma. (FL) is the second most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Manual histological grading of FL is subject to remarkable inter- and intra-reader variations. A promising approach to grading is the development of a computer-assisted system that improves consistency and precision. Correlating information from adjacent slides with different stain types requires establishing spatial correspondences between the digitized section pair through a precise non-rigid image registration However, the dissimilar appearances of the different stain types challenges existing registration methods This study proposes a method for the automatic non-rigid registration of histological section images with different stain types. This method is based on matching high level features that are representative of small anatomical structures. This choice of feature provides a rich matching environment, but also results in a high mismatch probability. Matching confidence is increased by establishing local groups of coherent features through geometric reasoning The proposed method is validated on a set of FL images representing different disease stages Statistical analysis demonstrates that given a proper feature set the accuracy of automatic registration is comparable to manual registration (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
