Nucleolus detection in the Fuhrman grading system for application in CCRC.

The paper presents a method for nucleolus detection in images of nuclei in clear-cell renal carcinoma (CCRC). The method is based on the similarity of the nuclei image and the two-dimensional paraboloidal window function. The results of numerical experiments performed on almost 2600 images of CCRC nuclei have confirmed the good accuracy of the method. The developed algorithm will be used to accelerate further research in computer-assisted diagnosis of CCRC.
