'''Automated tissue image analysis''' is a process by which computer-controlled [[automatic test equipment]] is used to evaluate [[tissue (biology)|tissue]] samples, using computations to derive quantitative measurements from an image to avoid subjective errors.
In a typical application, automated tissue image analysis could be used to measure the aggregate activity of [[cancer cell]]s in a [[biopsy]] of a [[cancer]]ous [[tumor]] taken from a patient. In [[breast cancer]] patients, for example, automated tissue image analysis may be used to test for high levels of [[proteins]] known to be present in more aggressive forms of breast cancers.
