Method for classifying slides using scatter plot distributions

C-WRPonbl\DCC\SXC\26397R_1 DOC-23/12/2()9 A method for classifying a biological specimen, comprising: acquiring images of the specimen; 5 generating image data from the acquired images; filtering the image data to identify a plurality of objects of interest (Ols) within the biological specimen; measuring respective first and second features of the 001s, generating a scatter plot of the respective first measured features versus the second 10 measured features, the scatter plot having a distribution of points having a spread, quantifying the spread of the point distribution, and classifying the specimen as either normal or suspicious at least partially based upon a comparison of the quantified point distribution spread with a threshold value.
