New imaging software may rival the eyes of a pathologist, according to a study in the 9 November issue of the journal Science Translational Medicine.

Researchers created the computer program, called Computational Pathologist or “C-Path,” to scan microscopic images of breast tissue for over 6000 characteristics of cancer. The software helped predict breast cancer severity in two groups of women, and could be a useful tool for gauging a patient’s chance of survival.
