Abstract

QuPath is new bioimage analysis software designed to meet the growing need for a user-friendly, extensible, open-source solution for digital pathology and whole slide image analysis. In addition to offering a comprehensive panel of tumor identification and high-throughput biomarker evaluation tools, QuPath provides researchers with powerful batch-processing and scripting functionality, and an extensible platform with which to develop and share new algorithms to analyze complex tissue images. Furthermore, QuPath's flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of additional image analysis applications across biomedical research.

Statistics

Figure 1 Illustration of QuPath’s use and functionality. (a) A typical workflow for TMA analysis (here, p53) demonstrates several of QuPath’s main features (left-to-right): Creation of a multi-slide project with automated TMA dearraying, stain estimation, cell detection and feature computation, trainable cell classification, batch processing, and survival analysis. (b) QuPath offers a wide range of additional functionality, including support for whole face tissue sections and fluorescence image analysis, data exchange with existing software and platforms (e.g. ImageJ and MATLAB), scriptable data mining, and rapid generation, visualization and export of spatial, morphological and intensity-based features.CC BY · PubMed Central

Figure 2 Survival analysis of colon cancer cohort based on QuPath automated image analysis. (a–d) Kaplan Meier survival analysis for biomarker scores of TMAs stained for CD3, CD8, p53 and PD-L1. Median cutoffs are applied in all cases, except p53 where two cutoffs were selected by an experienced pathologist to distinguish between aberrant negative, “wild type” (normal) and aberrant positive groups. Representative images showing an original core and QuPath markup image are included below. (e) Kaplan Meier curve showing patient stratification based on median tumor stromal percentage. Representative images show the original images and markup for tumors with a high and low stromal percentage respectively. Green indicates regions classified as stroma, dark red indicates tumor epithelium, while yellow represents other classified tissue or whitespace.CC BY · PubMed Central

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.
