Deep learning models that are trained on histopathological images obtained from a single lab and/or scanner give poor inference performance on images obtained from another scanner/lab with a different staining protocol. In recent years, there has been a good amount of research done for image stain normalization to address this issue. In this work, we present a novel approach for the stain normalization problem using fast neural style transfer coupled with adversarial loss. We also propose a novel stain transfer generator network based on High-Resolution Network (HRNet) which requires less training time and gives good generalization with few paired training images of reference stain and test stain. This approach has been tested on Whole Slide Images (WSIs) obtained from 8 different labs, where images from one lab were treated as a reference stain. A deep learning model was trained on this stain and the rest of the images were transferred to it using the corresponding stain transfer generator network. Experimentation suggests that this approach is able to successfully perform stain normalization with good visual quality and provides better inference performance compared to not applying stain normalization.

Digitized pathological diagnosis has been in increasing demand recently. It is well known that color information is critical to the automatic and visual analysis of pathological slides. However, the color variations due to various factors not only ha
ve negative impact on pathologists diagnosis, but also will reduce the robustness of the algorithms. The factors that cause the color differences are not only in the process of making the slices, but also in the process of digitization. Different strategies have been proposed to alleviate the color variations. Most of such techniques rely on collecting color statistics to perform color matching across images and highly dependent on a reference template slide. Since the pathological slides between hospitals are usually unpaired, these methods do not yield good matching results. In this work, we propose a novel network that we refer to as Transitive Adversarial Networks (TAN) to transfer the color information among slides from different hospitals or centers. It is not necessary for an expert to pick a representative reference slide in the proposed TAN method. We compare the proposed method with the state-of-the-art methods quantitatively and qualitatively. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, our method yields an improvement of 0.87dB in terms of PSNR, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed TAN method in stain style transfer.
In digital pathology, different staining procedures and scanners cause substantial color variations in whole-slide images (WSIs), especially across different laboratories. These color shifts result in a poor generalization of deep learning-based meth
ods from the training domain to external pathology data. To increase test performance, stain normalization techniques are used to reduce the variance between training and test domain. Alternatively, color augmentation can be applied during training leading to a more robust model without the extra step of color normalization at test time. We propose a novel color augmentation technique, HistAuGAN, that can simulate a wide variety of realistic histology stain colors, thus making neural networks stain-invariant when applied during training. Based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) for image-to-image translation, our model disentangles the content of the image, i.e., the morphological tissue structure, from the stain color attributes. It can be trained on multiple domains and, therefore, learns to cover different stain colors as well as other domain-specific variations introduced in the slide preparation and imaging process. We demonstrate that HistAuGAN outperforms conventional color augmentation techniques on a classification task on the publicly available dataset Camelyon17 and show that it is able to mitigate present batch effects.
The application of supervised deep learning methods in digital pathology is limited due to their sensitivity to domain shift. Digital Pathology is an area prone to high variability due to many sources, including the common practice of evaluating seve
ral consecutive tissue sections stained with different staining protocols. Obtaining labels for each stain is very expensive and time consuming as it requires a high level of domain knowledge. In this article, we propose an unsupervised augmentation approach based on adversarial image-to-image translation, which facilitates the training of stain invariant supervised convolutional neural networks. By training the network on one commonly used staining modality and applying it to images that include corresponding, but differently stained, tissue structures, the presented method demonstrates significant improvements over other approaches. These benefits are illustrated in the problem of glomeruli segmentation in seven different staining modalities (PAS, Jones H&E, CD68, Sirius Red, CD34, H&E and CD3) and analysis of the learned representations demonstrate their stain invariance.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important medical imaging modality, but its acquisition speed is quite slow due to the physiological limitations. Recently, super-resolution methods have shown excellent performance in accelerating MRI. In some
circumstances, it is difficult to obtain high-resolution images even with prolonged scan time. Therefore, we proposed a novel super-resolution method that uses a generative adversarial network (GAN) with cyclic loss and attention mechanism to generate high-resolution MR images from low-resolution MR images by a factor of 2. We implemented our model on pelvic images from healthy subjects as training and validation data, while those data from patients were used for testing. The MR dataset was obtained using different imaging sequences, including T2, T2W SPAIR, and mDIXON-W. Four methods, i.e., BICUBIC, SRCNN, SRGAN, and EDSR were used for comparison. Structural similarity, peak signal to noise ratio, root mean square error, and variance inflation factor were used as calculation indicators to evaluate the performances of the proposed method. Various experimental results showed that our method can better restore the details of the high-resolution MR image as compared to the other methods. In addition, the reconstructed high-resolution MR image can provide better lesion textures in the tumor patients, which is promising to be used in clinical diagnosis.
Computer-aided diagnosis with deep learning techniques has been shown to be helpful for the diagnosis of the mammography in many clinical studies. However, the image styles of different vendors are very distinctive, and there may exist domain gap amo
ng different vendors that could potentially compromise the universal applicability of one deep learning model. In this study, we explicitly address style variety issue with the proposed multi-resolution and multi-reference neural style transfer (mr2NST) network. The mr2NST can normalize the styles from different vendors to the same style baseline with very high resolution. We illustrate that the image quality of the transferred images is comparable to the quality of original images of the target domain (vendor) in terms of NIMA scores. Meanwhile, the mr2NST results are also shown to be helpful for the lesion detection in mammograms.
