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
Computational Pathology: A Survey Review and The Way Forward
Computational Pathology CPath is an interdisciplinary science that augments
developments of computational approaches to analyze and model medical
histopathology images. The main objective for CPath is to develop
infrastructure and workflows of digital diagnostics as an assistive CAD system
for clinical pathology, facilitating transformational changes in the diagnosis
and treatment of cancer that are mainly address by CPath tools. With
evergrowing developments in deep learning and computer vision algorithms, and
the ease of the data flow from digital pathology, currently CPath is witnessing
a paradigm shift. Despite the sheer volume of engineering and scientific works
being introduced for cancer image analysis, there is still a considerable gap
of adopting and integrating these algorithms in clinical practice. This raises
a significant question regarding the direction and trends that are undertaken
in CPath. In this article we provide a comprehensive review of more than 800
papers to address the challenges faced in problem design all-the-way to the
application and implementation viewpoints. We have catalogued each paper into a
model-card by examining the key works and challenges faced to layout the
current landscape in CPath. We hope this helps the community to locate relevant
works and facilitate understanding of the field's future directions. In a
nutshell, we oversee the CPath developments in cycle of stages which are
required to be cohesively linked together to address the challenges associated
with such multidisciplinary science. We overview this cycle from different
perspectives of data-centric, model-centric, and application-centric problems.
We finally sketch remaining challenges and provide directions for future
technical developments and clinical integration of CPath

Label-Efficient Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis: Challenges and Future Directions
Deep learning has seen rapid growth in recent years and achieved
state-of-the-art performance in a wide range of applications. However, training
models typically requires expensive and time-consuming collection of large
quantities of labeled data. This is particularly true within the scope of
medical imaging analysis (MIA), where data are limited and labels are expensive
to be acquired. Thus, label-efficient deep learning methods are developed to
make comprehensive use of the labeled data as well as the abundance of
unlabeled and weak-labeled data. In this survey, we extensively investigated
over 300 recent papers to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress
on label-efficient learning strategies in MIA. We first present the background
of label-efficient learning and categorize the approaches into different
schemes. Next, we examine the current state-of-the-art methods in detail
through each scheme. Specifically, we provide an in-depth investigation,
covering not only canonical semi-supervised, self-supervised, and
multi-instance learning schemes, but also recently emerged active and
annotation-efficient learning strategies. Moreover, as a comprehensive
contribution to the field, this survey not only elucidates the commonalities
and unique features of the surveyed methods but also presents a detailed
analysis of the current challenges in the field and suggests potential avenues
for future research.Comment: Update Few-shot Method

Interpretable classification of Alzheimer's disease pathologies with a convolutional neural network pipeline.
Neuropathologists assess vast brain areas to identify diverse and subtly-differentiated morphologies. Standard semi-quantitative scoring approaches, however, are coarse-grained and lack precise neuroanatomic localization. We report a proof-of-concept deep learning pipeline that identifies specific neuropathologies-amyloid plaques and cerebral amyloid angiopathy-in immunohistochemically-stained archival slides. Using automated segmentation of stained objects and a cloud-based interface, we annotate > 70,000 plaque candidates from 43 whole slide images (WSIs) to train and evaluate convolutional neural networks. Networks achieve strong plaque classification on a 10-WSI hold-out set (0.993 and 0.743 areas under the receiver operating characteristic and precision recall curve, respectively). Prediction confidence maps visualize morphology distributions at high resolution. Resulting network-derived amyloid beta (Aβ)-burden scores correlate well with established semi-quantitative scores on a 30-WSI blinded hold-out. Finally, saliency mapping demonstrates that networks learn patterns agreeing with accepted pathologic features. This scalable means to augment a neuropathologist's ability suggests a route to neuropathologic deep phenotyping
Cancer diagnosis using deep learning: A bibliographic review
In this paper, we first describe the basics of the field of cancer diagnosis, which includes steps of cancer diagnosis followed by the typical classification methods used by doctors, providing a historical idea of cancer classification techniques to the readers. These methods include Asymmetry, Border, Color and Diameter (ABCD) method, seven-point detection method, Menzies method, and pattern analysis. They are used regularly by doctors for cancer diagnosis, although they are not considered very efficient for obtaining better performance. Moreover, considering all types of audience, the basic evaluation criteria are also discussed. The criteria include the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), Area under the ROC curve (AUC), F1 score, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, dice-coefficient, average accuracy, and Jaccard index. Previously used methods are considered inefficient, asking for better and smarter methods for cancer diagnosis. Artificial intelligence and cancer diagnosis are gaining attention as a way to define better diagnostic tools. In particular, deep neural networks can be successfully used for intelligent image analysis. The basic framework of how this machine learning works on medical imaging is provided in this study, i.e., pre-processing, image segmentation and post-processing. The second part of this manuscript describes the different deep learning techniques, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), generative adversarial models (GANs), deep autoencoders (DANs), restricted Boltzmann’s machine (RBM), stacked autoencoders (SAE), convolutional autoencoders (CAE), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LTSM), multi-scale convolutional neural network (M-CNN), multi-instance learning convolutional neural network (MIL-CNN). For each technique, we provide Python codes, to allow interested readers to experiment with the cited algorithms on their own diagnostic problems. The third part of this manuscript compiles the successfully applied deep learning models for different types of cancers. Considering the length of the manuscript, we restrict ourselves to the discussion of breast cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, and skin cancer. The purpose of this bibliographic review is to provide researchers opting to work in implementing deep learning and artificial neural networks for cancer diagnosis a knowledge from scratch of the state-of-the-art achievements
