Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise for diagnosing prostate cancer in biopsies. However, results have been limited to individual studies, lacking validation multinational settings. Competitions be accelerators medical imaging innovations, but their impact is hindered by lack of reproducibility and independent validation. With this mind, we organized the PANDA challenge—the largest histopathology competition date, joined 1,290 developers—to catalyze development...
Automatic Non-rigid Histological Image Registration (ANHIR) challenge was organized to compare the performance of image registration algorithms on several kinds microscopy histology images in a fair and independent manner. We have assembled 8 datasets, containing 355 with 18 different stains, resulting 481 pairs be registered. accuracy evaluated using manually placed landmarks. In total, 256 teams registered for challenge, 10 submitted results, 6 participated workshop. Here, we present...
Abstract Unreliable predictions can occur when an artificial intelligence (AI) system is presented with data it has not been exposed to during training. We demonstrate the use of conformal prediction detect unreliable predictions, using histopathological diagnosis and grading prostate biopsies as example. digitized 7788 from 1192 men in STHLM3 diagnostic study, used for training, 3059 676 testing. With prediction, 1 794 (0.1%) incorrect cancer (compared 14 errors [2%] without prediction)...
The alignment of tissue between histopathological whole-slide-images (WSI) is crucial for research and clinical applications. Advances in computing, deep learning, availability large WSI datasets have revolutionised analysis. Therefore, the current state-of-the-art registration unclear. To address this, we conducted ACROBAT challenge, based on largest dataset to date, including 4,212 WSIs from 1,152 breast cancer patients. challenge objective was align that stained with routine diagnostic...
Abstract Castration-resistant prostate cancers (CRPC) that arise after the failure of androgen-blocking therapies cause most deaths from cancer, intensifying need to fully understand CRPC pathophysiology. In this study, we characterized transcriptomic differences between untreated cancer and locally recurrent CRPC. Here, report identification 145 previously unannotated intergenic long noncoding RNA transcripts (lncRNA) or isoforms are associated with Of one third these were specific for...
Abstract Molecular profiling is central in cancer precision medicine but remains costly and based on tumor average profiles. Morphologic patterns observable histopathology sections from tumors are determined by the underlying molecular phenotype therefore have potential to be exploited for prediction of phenotypes. We report here first transcriptome-wide expression–morphology (EMO) analysis breast cancer, where individual deep convolutional neural networks were optimized validated mRNA...
Orientation and the degree of isotropy are important in many biological systems such as sarcomeres cardiomyocytes other fibrillar structures cytoskeleton. Image based analysis is often limited to qualitative evaluation by human experts, hampering throughput, repeatability reliability analyses. Software tools not readily available for this purpose existing methods typically rely at least partly on manual operation. We developed CytoSpectre, an automated tool spectral analysis, allowing...
Abstract The International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) hosts a reference image database supervised by experts with the purpose establishing an international standard in prostate cancer grading. Here, we aimed to identify areas grading difficulties and compare results those obtained from artificial intelligence system trained In series 87 needle biopsies cancers selected include problematic cases, failed reach 2/3 consensus 41.4% (36/87). Among non-consensus weighted kappa was 0.77...

Their impact on patient outcomes cost effectiveness comparison to human pathologists remains unknown. Our aim was evaluate the cost-effectiveness of AI-assisted pathology for PCa diagnosis Sweden. Methods We modeled quadrennial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening men between ages 50 74 yr over a lifetime horizon using health care perspective. Men with...

With accurate methods using image analysis and machine learning, significant speed‐up, savings in costs through increased throughput histological assessment could be achieved. This article describes learning approach tissue Our method is based on feature engineering supervised with random forest model. The features extracted the images include...
Adipose tissue is an attractive stem cell source for soft and bone engineering applications therapies. The adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) have a multilineage differentiation capacity that regulated through extracellular signals. cellular events related to adhesion cytoskeleton been suggested as central regulators of fate decision. However, the detailed knowledge these molecular mechanisms in human ASCs remains limited. This study examined significance focal kinase (FAK),...
Abstract Motivation Digital pathology enables new approaches that expand beyond storage, visualization or analysis of histological samples in digital format. One novel opportunity is 3D histology, where a three-dimensional reconstruction the sample formed computationally based on serial tissue sections. This allows examining architecture 3D, for example, diagnostic purposes. Importantly, histology joint mapping cellular morphology with spatially resolved omics data true context at...
Molecular phenotyping by gene expression profiling is central in contemporary cancer research and molecular diagnostics but remains resource intense to implement. Changes occurring tumours cause morphological changes tissue, which can be observed on the microscopic level. The relationship between patterns some of phenotypes exploited predict from routine haematoxylin eosin-stained whole slide images (WSIs) using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this study, we propose a new,...
Abstract The presence of perineural invasion (PNI) by carcinoma in prostate biopsies has been shown to be associated with poor prognosis. assessment and quantification PNI are, however, labor intensive. To aid pathologists this task, we developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm based on deep neural networks. We collected, digitized, pixel-wise annotated the findings each approximately 80,000 biopsy cores from 7406 men who underwent a screening trial between 2012 2014. In total, 485...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is widely used in dynamic biological microfluidic applications. As a highly hydrophobic material, native PDMS does not support cell attachment and culture, especially conditions. Previous covalent coating methods use glutaraldehyde (GA) which, however, cytotoxic. This paper introduces novel simple method for binding collagen type I covalently on using ascorbic acid (AA) as cross-linker instead of GA. We compare the against physisorption GA cross-linker-based...
