Now more than ever intelligent human beings are needed to fulfil high value and high complexity tasks and histopathology is no exception. In fact, it is one of the sectors in the most desperate need.
What AI Can and Can’t Do for Digital Pathology Right Now
Posted 15th July 2020 by Liv Sewell
It was fascinating to speak with Hamid Tizhoosh, Professor at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Director of KIMIA Lab and keynote speaker at the 6th Digital Pathology & AI Congress: USA, about using AI to transform what is possible in medical imaging.
Developing Deep Learning Models for Pathology Analysis
Posted 9th March 2020 by Liv Sewell
Ahead of the 6th Digital Pathology & AI Congress: USA, Dr Saeed Hassanpour introduces us to the subject of his presentation: the opportunities and challenges in developing deep learning based tools for histology.
Deep Learning based detection of tumor tissue compartments improves prognostic immunoprofiling in muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Posted 11th November 2019 by Liv Sewell
Worldwide, bladder cancer (BC) is the 11th most commonly diagnosed cancer. In men, BC is the 7thmost commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide.[1]Although men are more likely to develop BC than women, women present with more advanced disease and have worse survival rates.[2]
Muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC) are cancers that have grown into or through the muscle layers of the bladder wall.
Dr. Katharina Nekolla and Ansh Kapil and their team applied Deep Learning enabled pathology to better understand prognostic factors in MIBC. Here we review the significance of the research and share their original poster.
Bridging the gap between pathologist and algorithm
Posted 16th October 2019 by Liv Sewell
Could AI replace pathologists? As we look forward to the 6th Digital Pathology and AI Congress: Europe on the 5th – 6th December 2019, we look back at Dr Hamid Tizhoosh’s keynote presentation from last year.
Four challenges in developing AI algorithms for medical imaging
Posted 10th May 2019 by Joshua Sewell
Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of hype surrounding AI. Available deep learning packages make it so easy to create models and so we can expect lots of them to emerge. Anyone able to access sufficiently labelled data can start building models.
Tuning Algorithms to the Histology Lab
Posted 26th November 2018 by Jane Williams
The promise of an effective set of tools based on deep learning or other machine learning algorithms is the current buzz of the digital pathology markets. While the evolving tools, models and techniques are producing strongly positive results, there are still many factors which impact the utility and portability of models and tools being created across real-world data sets.
Distinction of Benign and Malignant Lesions through Deep Learning
Posted 6th August 2018 by Jane Williams
Machine learning is already prevalent in many industries and most pathologists are unaware how accessible machine learning is and how it can be used to augment their work or research. Applications include decision support, image analytics, process improvement, disease diagnosis and prognosis.
