The spatial distributions of different types of cells could reveal a cancer cell growth pattern, its relationships with the tumor microenvironment and the immune response of the body, all of which represent key hallmarks of cancer. However, manually recognizing and localizing all the cells in pathology slides are almost impossible. In this study, we developed an automated cell type classification pipeline, ConvPath, which includes nuclei segmentation, convolutional neural network-based tumor, stromal and lymphocytes classification, and extraction of tumor microenvironment related features for lung cancer pathology images. The overall classification accuracy is 92.9% and 90.1% in training and independent testing datasets, respectively. By identifying cells and classifying cell types, this pipeline can convert a pathology image into a spatial map of tumor, stromal and lymphocyte cells. From this spatial map, we can extracted features that characterize the tumor micro-environment. Based on these features, we developed an image feature-based prognostic model and validated the model in two independent cohorts. The predicted risk group serves as an independent prognostic factor, after adjusting for clinical variables that include age, gender, smoking status, and stage.
In this paper, we present a novel approach that uses deep learning techniques for colorizing grayscale images. By utilizing a pre-trained convolutional neural network, which is originally designed for image classification, we are able to separate con
Early and accurate diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is crucial for making treatment decisions, but can be challenging even for experienced radiologists. The diagnostic procedure is based on the detection and recognition of the different
With the development of the super-resolution convolutional neural network (SRCNN), deep learning technique has been widely applied in the field of image super-resolution. Previous works mainly focus on optimizing the structure of SRCNN, which have be
The conventional spatial convolution layers in the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are computationally expensive at the point where the training time could take days unless the number of layers, the number of training images or the size of the t
Early diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases is crucial for their treatment, but even experienced physicians find it difficult, as their clinical manifestations are similar. In order to assist with the diagnosis, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) syste
