Documents, reports (12)

Algorithms for whole-slide image compression

Algorithms for wholeslide image compression The input of those algorithm is a multiresolution Gigapixel histopathology wholeslide image and the output is a compressed representation of the input in the form of a data volume rows columns features The amount of rows and column of the compressed representation will be much smaller than the original wholeslide image and the number of features will be in the order of 128 or 256 values Encoders will be implemented in the form of a webbased service in the EXA MODE web site which will allow to upload WSIs and download a compressed representation of it in the form of a data fileThe tool is tested in order to verify Milestone 8

Conceptual descriptive framework for multimodal knowledge

This designed conceptual descriptive framework allows medical computer science experts to easily represent into a unified framework multimodal medical information reducing the effort to combine textual and imaging data for clinical decision support systems

This report reviews all the dissemination exploitation and communication activities performed during the year and it draws the outlines for the following year divided per activity

Graph representation of the histopathology knowledge

The histopathology visual knowledge graph represents the relationships between scale and color invariant content of the histopathology images It is described in a scientific publication and it is released to the other members of the consortium

Algorithms for whole-slide image classification

Deep neural networks for classification of histopathology wholeslide images Targets of trained networks will be released as a milestone during the project Classification algorithms will be implemented in a webbased platform available at Radboudumc namely CIRRUS Pathology Techniques addressing the problem of endtoend training of neural networks for WSI classification will be disseminated as scientific publicationsThe tool is tested in order to verify Milestone 8

Detection and segmentation algorithms will be implemented in a web-based platform available at Radboudumc, namely CIRRUS Pathology. Segmentation results will be produced in a format compatible with the in-house developed open-source platform ASAP [61], as well as CIRRUS Pathology, which will allow to inspect, modify and further process segmentation results as well as likelihood maps produced by neural networks. Novel techniques of weakly-supervised semantic in whole-slide images will be disseminated as scientific publications. The tool is tested in order to verify Milestone 8.

Automatic knowledge discovery system prototype and user study outcome

This knowledge discovery system allows clinicians to automatically obtain connected relevant information in different combinations The returned types of information are report textual descriptions medical images authoritative concepts and semantic relations between them The released prototype take into account the different heterogeneous components of the systems and benefit from the feedbacks of expert users that tested the tool in the field The deliverable is shared among UNIPD and HESSO because they will strongly collaborate on the prototype
