METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS BY SPECTRAL IMAGING
First Claim
1. A method for classifying a biological sample, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a system, a spectral image of a biological sample;
applying a heuristic to the spectral image to identify one or more regions in the biological sample for isolated testing or analysis;
identifying at least one region of interest in the spectral image based on the applied heuristic for micro-dissection of the biological sample to perform the isolated testing or analysis; and
aiding in a harvesting of the at least one region of interest of the biological sample.

Abstract
The methods, devices, and systems may allow a practitioner to obtain information regarding a biological sample, including analytical data, a medical diagnosis, and/or a prognosis or predictive analysis. The method, devices, and systems may provide a grade or level of development for identified diseases. In addition, the methods, devices and systems may generate a confidence value for the predictive classifications generated, which may, for example be generated in a format to show such confidence value or other feature in a graphical representation (e.g., a color code). Further, the methods, devices and system may aid in the identification and discovery of new classes and tissue sub-types.

10. A system for classifying a biological sample, comprising:
a memory in communication with a processor, wherein the memory and the processor are cooperatively configured to; receive a spectral image of a biological sample; apply a heuristic to the spectral image to identify one or more regions in the biological sample for isolated testing or analysis; identify at least one region of interest in the spectral image based on the applied heuristic for micro-dissection of the biological sample to perform the isolated testing or analysis; and aid in a harvesting of the at least one region of interest of the biological sample. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer device, comprising:
-
at least one instruction for causing the computer device to receive a spectral image of a biological sample; at least one instruction for causing the computer device to apply a heuristic to the spectral image to identify one or more regions in the biological sample for isolated testing or analysis; at least one instruction for causing the computer device to identify at least one region of interest in the spectral image based on the applied heuristic for micro-dissection of the biological sample to perform the isolated testing or analysis; and at least one instruction for causing the computer device to aid in a harvesting of the at least one region of interest of the biological sample.
