Abstract

Features are disclosed for imaging block and slice samples using an imaging system. The imaging system can link the images by identifiers associated with the block and slice samples. The imaging system can train a machine learning algorithm based on correctly linked images. In some embodiments, the trained machine learning algorithm may include an image analysis module or a convolutional neural network. The imaging system can use the trained machine learning algorithm in order to determine a confidence score of a match between the block and the slice samples. The trained machine learning algorithm can use features of the block and the slice samples such as shape and tissue morphology to determine whether the samples match. In some embodiments, when the confidence score is below a certain threshold, the imaging system can alert a user that the samples may not match.
