  Mucous glands lesions analysis and assessing of malignant potential of colon
polyps are very important tasks of surgical pathology. However, differential
diagnosis of colon polyps often seems impossible by classical methods and it is
necessary to involve computer methods capable of assessing minimal differences
to extend the capabilities of the classical pathology examination. Accurate
segmentation of mucous glands from histology images is a crucial step to obtain
reliable morphometric criteria for quantitative diagnostic methods. We review
major trends in histological images segmentation and design a new convolutional
neural network for mucous gland segmentation.
