1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more computer programs adapted to cause a processor based system to execute steps comprising:
- converting at least a part of image information of a tissue sample to an optical domain image;
separating the at least a part of image information into positive stain image information and negative stain image information;
identifying a number of positive stained nuclei based on the positive stain image information and a number of negative stained nuclei based on the negative stain image information;
calculating a number of total nuclei by summing the number of positive stained nuclei and the number of negative stained nuclei, wherein a percentage score is calculated based on the number of positive stained nuclei and the number of total nuclei; and
displaying an indication of a cancer diagnosis score derived at least in part from the percentage score.

Abstract
Certain aspects of an apparatus and method for automatic ER/PR scoring of tissue samples may include for determining a cancer diagnosis score comprising identifying a positive stained nucleus in a slide image of the tissue sample, identifying a negative stained nucleus in the slide image, computing a proportion score based on number of the positive stained nucleus identified and number of the negative stained nucleus identified and determining the cancer diagnosis score based on the proportion.
