Abstract
The human carcinogenicity evaluation of chemicals has a great impact on public health. In vitro methods, such as the cell transformation assay (CTA), allow for a fast and reliable assessment of the carcinogenic potential of a chemical compound in comparison with the standard two-year bioassay. Here, we propose a statistical approach to classify mixed and intermediate foci by exploiting the quantitative information available from images through statistical descriptors.
