Machine learning methods for histopathological image analysis
Abundant accumulation of digital histopathological images has led to the
increased demand for their analysis, such as computer-aided diagnosis using
machine learning techniques. However, digital pathological images and related
tasks have some issues to be considered. In this mini-review, we introduce the
application of digital pathological image analysis using machine learning
algorithms, address some problems specific to such analysis, and propose
possible solutions.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figure
Histopathological image analysis : a review
Over the past decade, dramatic increases in computational power and improvement in image analysis algorithms have allowed the development of powerful computer-assisted analytical approaches to radiological data. With the recent advent of whole slide digital scanners, tissue histopathology slides can now be digitized and stored in digital image form. Consequently, digitized tissue histopathology has now become amenable to the application of computerized image analysis and machine learning techniques. Analogous to the role of computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) algorithms in medical imaging to complement the opinion of a radiologist, CAD algorithms have begun to be developed for disease detection, diagnosis, and prognosis prediction to complement the opinion of the pathologist. In this paper, we review the recent state of the art CAD technology for digitized histopathology. This paper also briefly describes the development and application of novel image analysis technology for a few specific histopathology related problems being pursued in the United States and Europe
A Survey on Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis
Deep learning algorithms, in particular convolutional networks, have rapidly
become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images. This paper reviews
the major deep learning concepts pertinent to medical image analysis and
summarizes over 300 contributions to the field, most of which appeared in the
last year. We survey the use of deep learning for image classification, object
detection, segmentation, registration, and other tasks and provide concise
overviews of studies per application area. Open challenges and directions for
future research are discussed.Comment: Revised survey includes expanded discussion section and reworked
introductory section on common deep architectures. Added missed papers from
before Feb 1st 201
Evaluation of Joint Multi-Instance Multi-Label Learning For Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Multi-instance multi-label (MIML) learning is a challenging problem in many
aspects. Such learning approaches might be useful for many medical diagnosis
applications including breast cancer detection and classification. In this
study subset of digiPATH dataset (whole slide digital breast cancer
histopathology images) are used for training and evaluation of six
state-of-the-art MIML methods.
At the end, performance comparison of these approaches are given by means of
effective evaluation metrics. It is shown that MIML-kNN achieve the best
performance that is %65.3 average precision, where most of other methods attain
acceptable results as well
Joint and individual analysis of breast cancer histologic images and genomic covariates
A key challenge in modern data analysis is understanding connections between
complex and differing modalities of data. For example, two of the main
approaches to the study of breast cancer are histopathology (analyzing visual
characteristics of tumors) and genetics. While histopathology is the gold
standard for diagnostics and there have been many recent breakthroughs in
genetics, there is little overlap between these two fields. We aim to bridge
this gap by developing methods based on Angle-based Joint and Individual
Variation Explained (AJIVE) to directly explore similarities and differences
between these two modalities. Our approach exploits Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs) as a powerful, automatic method for image feature extraction to
address some of the challenges presented by statistical analysis of
histopathology image data. CNNs raise issues of interpretability that we
address by developing novel methods to explore visual modes of variation
captured by statistical algorithms (e.g. PCA or AJIVE) applied to CNN features.
Our results provide many interpretable connections and contrasts between
histopathology and genetics
