Considerable morphological phenotyping studies in nephrology have emerged in the past few years, aiming to discover hidden regularities between clinical and imaging phenotypes. Such studies have been largely enabled by deep learning based image analysis to extract sparsely located targeting objects (e.g., glomeruli) on high-resolution whole slide images (WSI). However, such methods need to be trained using labor-intensive high-quality annotations, ideally labeled by pathologists. Inspired by the recent human-in-the-loop strategy, we developed EasierPath, an open-source tool to integrate human physicians and deep learning algorithms for efficient large-scale pathological image quantification as a loop. Using EasierPath, physicians are able to (1) optimize the recall and precision of deep learning object detection outcomes adaptively, (2) seamlessly support deep learning outcomes refining using either our EasierPath or prevalent ImageScope software without changing physicians user habit, and (3) manage and phenotype each object with user-defined classes. As a user case of EasierPath, we present the procedure of curating large-scale glomeruli in an efficient human-in-the-loop fashion (with two loops). From the experiments, the EasierPath saved 57 % of the annotation efforts to curate 8,833 glomeruli during the second loop. Meanwhile, the average precision of glomerular detection was leveraged from 0.504 to 0.620. The EasierPath software has been released as open-source to enable the large-scale glomerular prototyping.

Image based biomarker discovery typically requires an accurate segmentation of histologic structures (e.g., cell nuclei, tubules, epithelial regions) in digital pathology Whole Slide Images (WSI). Unfortunately, annotating each structure of interest
is laborious and often intractable even in moderately sized cohorts. Here, we present an open-source tool, Quick Annotator (QA), designed to improve annotation efficiency of histologic structures by orders of magnitude. While the user annotates regions of interest (ROI) via an intuitive web interface, a deep learning (DL) model is concurrently optimized using these annotations and applied to the ROI. The user iteratively reviews DL results to either (a) accept accurately annotated regions, or (b) correct erroneously segmented structures to improve subsequent model suggestions, before transitioning to other ROIs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of QA over comparable manual efforts via three use cases. These include annotating (a) 337,386 nuclei in 5 pancreatic WSIs, (b) 5,692 tubules in 10 colorectal WSIs, and (c) 14,187 regions of epithelium in 10 breast WSIs. Efficiency gains in terms of annotations per second of 102x, 9x, and 39x were respectively witnessed while retaining f-scores >.95, suggesting QA may be a valuable tool for efficiently fully annotating WSIs employed in downstream biomarker studies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered pathology is a revolutionary step in the world of digital pathology and shows great promise to increase both diagnosis accuracy and efficiency. However, defocus and motion blur can obscure tissue or cell character
istics hence compromising AI algorithmsaccuracy and robustness in analyzing the images. In this paper, we demonstrate a deep-learning-based approach that can alleviate the defocus and motion blur of a microscopic image and output a sharper and cleaner image with retrieved fine details without prior knowledge of the blur type, blur extent and pathological stain. In this approach, a deep learning classifier is first trained to identify the image blur type. Then, two encoder-decoder networks are trained and used alone or in combination to deblur the input image. It is an end-to-end approach and introduces no corrugated artifacts as traditional blind deconvolution methods do. We test our approach on different types of pathology specimens and demonstrate great performance on image blur correction and the subsequent improvement on the diagnosis outcome of AI algorithms.
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal cancer of the female reproductive organs. There are $5$ major histological subtypes of epithelial ovarian cancer, each with distinct morphological, genetic, and clinical features. Currently, these histotypes are dete
rmined by a pathologists microscopic examination of tumor whole-slide images (WSI). This process has been hampered by poor inter-observer agreement (Cohens kappa $0.54$-$0.67$). We utilized a textit{two}-stage deep transfer learning algorithm based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) and progressive resizing for automatic classification of epithelial ovarian carcinoma WSIs. The proposed algorithm achieved a mean accuracy of $87.54%$ and Cohens kappa of $0.8106$ in the slide-level classification of $305$ WSIs; performing better than a standard CNN and pathologists without gynecology-specific training.
3D complete renal structures(CRS) segmentation targets on segmenting the kidneys, tumors, renal arteries and veins in one inference. Once successful, it will provide preoperative plans and intraoperative guidance for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(
LPN), playing a key role in the renal cancer treatment. However, no success has been reported in 3D CRS segmentation due to the complex shapes of renal structures, low contrast and large anatomical variation. In this study, we utilize the adversarial ensemble learning and propose Ensemble Multi-condition GAN(EnMcGAN) for 3D CRS segmentation for the first time. Its contribution is three-fold. 1)Inspired by windowing, we propose the multi-windowing committee which divides CTA image into multiple narrow windows with different window centers and widths enhancing the contrast for salient boundaries and soft tissues. And then, it builds an ensemble segmentation model on these narrow windows to fuse the segmentation superiorities and improve whole segmentation quality. 2)We propose the multi-condition GAN which equips the segmentation model with multiple discriminators to encourage the segmented structures meeting their real shape conditions, thus improving the shape feature extraction ability. 3)We propose the adversarial weighted ensemble module which uses the trained discriminators to evaluate the quality of segmented structures, and normalizes these evaluation scores for the ensemble weights directed at the input image, thus enhancing the ensemble results. 122 patients are enrolled in this study and the mean Dice coefficient of the renal structures achieves 84.6%. Extensive experiments with promising results on renal structures reveal powerful segmentation accuracy and great clinical significance in renal cancer treatment.
In this paper, we aim to address issues of (1) joint spatial-temporal modeling and (2) side information injection for deep-learning based in-loop filter. For (1), we design a deep network with both progressive rethinking and collaborative learning me
chanisms to improve quality of the reconstructed intra-frames and inter-frames, respectively. For intra coding, a Progressive Rethinking Network (PRN) is designed to simulate the human decision mechanism for effective spatial modeling. Our designed block introduces an additional inter-block connection to bypass a high-dimensional informative feature before the bottleneck module across blocks to review the complete past memorized experiences and rethinks progressively. For inter coding, the current reconstructed frame interacts with reference frames (peak quality frame and the nearest adjacent frame) collaboratively at the feature level. For (2), we extract both intra-frame and inter-frame side information for better context modeling. A coarse-to-fine partition map based on HEVC partition trees is built as the intra-frame side information. Furthermore, the warped features of the reference frames are offered as the inter-frame side information. Our PRN with intra-frame side information provides 9.0% BD-rate reduction on average compared to HEVC baseline under All-intra (AI) configuration. While under Low-Delay B (LDB), Low-Delay P (LDP) and Random Access (RA) configuration, our PRN with inter-frame side information provides 9.0%, 10.6% and 8.0% BD-rate reduction on average respectively.
