1. A method for automatically evaluating quality of a slide-mounted tissue sample comprising: receiving a digital image of a magnified portion of the slide-mounted tissue sample; automatically determining at least one quantitative quality indicator of at least one of (i) the slide-mounted tissue sample, and (ii) the digital image of the magnified portion of the slide-mounted tissue sample; and automatically determining whether the at least one quantitative quality indicator meets a respective minimum acceptable quality threshold, failure of the at least one quantitative quality indicator to meet its respective minimum acceptable quality threshold being indicative of at least one of the slide-mounted tissue sample and the digital image of the magnified portion of the slide-mounted tissue sample as considered unsuitable for automated pathological evaluation.
