Detecting various types of cells in and around the tumor matrix holds a special significance characterizing micro-environment for cancer prognostication research. Automating tasks detecting, segmenting, classifying nuclei can free up pathologists' time higher value reduce errors due to fatigue subjectivity. To encourage computer vision research community develop test algorithms these tasks, we prepared large diverse dataset nucleus boundary annotations class labels. The has over 46,000 from...

Several therapeutically important mutations in cancers are economically detected using immunohistochemistry (IHC), which highlights the overexpression of specific antigens associated with mutation. However, IHC panels can be imprecise and relatively expensive low-income settings. On other hand, although hematoxylin eosin (H&E) staining used to visualize general tissue morphology is a routine low cost, it does not highlight any antigen or mutation.Using human epidermal growth factor receptor...

The suggestion that the systemic immune response in lymph nodes (LNs) conveys prognostic value for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients has not previously been investigated large cohorts. We used a deep learning (DL) framework to quantify morphological features haematoxylin and eosin-stained LNs on digitised whole slide images. From 345 patients, 5,228 axillary LNs, cancer-free involved, were assessed. Generalisable multiscale DL frameworks developed capture germinal centres (GCs)...

<div>Abstract<p>Intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) presents challenges for precision oncology, but methods its spatial quantification, scalable at population levels, do not exist.

We tested hypothesis detected images was...

Histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) are being widely used to develop deep learning-based diagnostic solutions, especially for precision oncology. Most of these softwares vulnerable biases and impurities in the training test data which can lead inaccurate diagnoses. For instance, WSIs contain multiple types tissue regions, at least some might not be relevant diagnosis. We introduce HistoROI, a robust yet lightweight classifier segregate WSI into six broad regions -- epithelium, stroma,...

The accuracy of deep learning classifiers trained using the cross entropy loss function suffers even when a fraction training labels are wrong or input images uninformative. Training and for computational pathology often noisy due to difficulty in signal localization certain disease classifications being subjective discretization underlying continuums conditions. For robust label noise, we propose modified sample-specific version generalized loss. We take advantage bootstrapping properties...

Performance of deep learning algorithms decreases drastically if the data distributions training and testing sets are different. Due to variations in staining protocols, reagent brands, habits technicians, color variation digital histopathology images is quite common. Color causes problems for deployment learning-based solutions automatic diagnosis system histopathology. Previously proposed normalization methods consider a small patch as reference normalization, which creates artifacts on...
