Digital pathology is becoming an increasingly popular area of advancement in both research and clinically. Pathologists are now able to manage interpret slides digitally, as well collaborate with external pathologists digital copies slides. Differences slide scanners include variation resolution, image contrast, optical properties, which may influence downstream processing. This study tested the hypothesis that varying would result differences computed pathomic features on prostate cancer...

Objectives Intensity variation in multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) is a confounding factor MRI analyses. Previous studies have employed several normalization methods, but there lack of consensus on which method results the most comparable images across vendors and acquisitions. This study used MP-MRI collected from patients with confirmed prostate, brain, or breast cancer to examine common intensity methods identify best harmonizes values cofounds. Materials Multiple were...

INTRODUCTION: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary CNS malignancy, with one- and five-year survival rates of 41% 5%, respectively. Extent resection correlates increased survival, but tools to predict long-term survivors (LTS) after gross-total (GTR) are lacking. Radio-pathomic maps cell density, trained using MRI autopsy tissue, identify tumor features not readily identifiable on traditional MRI. This study evaluates these in GBM survivors. METHODS: Using UCSF-PDGM dataset, we...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most diagnosed non-cutaneous in men. Despite therapies such as radical prostatectomy, which considered curative, distant metastases may form, resulting biochemical recurrence (BCR). This study used radiomic features calculated from multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) to evaluate their ability predict BCR and PCa presence. Data a total of 279 patients, 46 experienced BCR, undergoing MP-MRI prior surgery were assessed for this study. After surgery,...

This study identified a clinically significant subset of patients with glioma tumor outside contrast enhancement present at autopsy and subsequently developed method for detecting nonenhancing using radio-pathomic mapping. We tested the hypothesis that autopsy-based probability maps would be able to noninvasively identify areas infiltrative beyond traditional imaging signatures.

Registration is the process of transforming images so they are aligned in same coordinate space. In medical field, image registration often used to align multi-modal or multi-parametric organ. A uniquely challenging subset cross-modality registration—the task aligning captured with different scanning methodologies. this study, we present a transformer-based deep learning pipeline for performing cross-modality, radiology-pathology human prostate samples. While existing solutions...

The presence and extent of cribriform patterned Gleason 4 (G4) glands are associated with poor prognosis following radical prostatectomy. This study used whole-mount prostate histology multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) to evaluate diffusion differences in G4 gland morphology. Fourty-eight patients underwent MP-MRI prior prostatectomy, whom 22 had regions both fused (G4CG G4FG, respectively). After surgery, the was sliced using custom, patient-specific 3D-printed slicing...

We tested the hypothesis that autopsy-based radio-pathomic maps of glioblastoma pathology reveal distinct phenotypes (hypercellular, hypocellular, hybrid, and well-circumscribed fronts) differ in patient survival bevacizumab treatment response. Patients with tumor invasion beyond contrast showed worse outcomes compared to patients tumors. Additionally, hypocellular components non-enhancing front selectively benefit from treatment, an observable reduction volume over course use.

Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) remains the most devastating central nervous system malignancy with poor overall survival (OS), even gross total resection (GTR) and chemoradiation. Identifying factors associated long-term (LTS) in GBM patients is challenging but crucial for improving prognostic models. This study compares an internal dataset of top 10% survivors (n=14) against a combined external cohort 528 who underwent GTR. METHODS We used previously published machine...
