Abstract

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.

  • In histopathology, variation between hospitals can arise from differences in the patient population or in slide staining and image acquisition.

    “In histopathology applications-studying tissue slides under a microscope-this variation can arise from sources like differences in the patient population or in slide staining and image acquisition (Veta et al., 2016; Komura and Ishikawa, 2018; Tellez et al., 2019).”

    From WILDS: A Benchmark of in-the-Wild Distribution Shifts (2020) · cites this paper as Komura and Ishikawa, 2018

    The “Color Variation and Artifacts” section identifies staining conditions and scanner models as sources of variation in histopathological images. It does not identify differences in patient populations as a source of variation between hospitals, so that part of the attributed claim is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

    From WILDS: A Benchmark of in-the-Wild Distribution Shifts (2020) · cites this paper as Komura and Ishikawa, 2018

    The “Color Variation and Artifacts” section identifies staining reagents, staining conditions, tissue-section thickness, and scanner models as sources of variation in histopathological images. It does not identify differences in patient population as a source, so that part of the attributed claim is unsupported by this paper. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
