Prostate cancer is multifocal in nature, and histological grading is the key clinical prognostic factor. To build non-subjective histological analysis tools, and to model the multifocality of prostate cancer within the organ, we use analysis of histological images to quantitatively describe prostate cancer. Our current effort shows how heterogeneity in prostate tissue due to cancer or spatial location can be quantified with image-derived features. We use high-resolution digita...
