Analysis of medical images largely remains the work of human experts. Current virtual microscope systems are mainly an emulation of real microscopes with annotation and some image analysis capabilities. However, the lack of effective knowledge management prevents such systems from being computer-aided prognosis platforms. The cognitive virtual microscopic framework, through an extended modeling and use of medical knowledge, has the capacity to analyse histopathological images and to perform grading of breast cancer, providing pathologists with a robust and traceable second opinion.} }
