Classification of Intestinal Gland Cell-Graphs Using Graph Neural Networks

2021

We propose to classify intestinal glands as normal or dysplastic using cell-graphs and graph-based deep learning methods. Dysplastic intestinal glands can lead to colorectal cancer, which is one of the three most common cancer types …

Impact of scanner variability on lymph node segmentation in computational pathology

2022 · Journal of Pathology Informatics

Computer-aided diagnostics in histopathology are based on the digitization of glass slides. However, heterogeneity between the images generated by different slide scanners can unfavorably affect the performance of computational algorithms. Here, we evaluate the impact …

Aligning computational pathology with clinical practice for colorectal cancer

2025 · medRxiv

Abstract Pathology reporting of colorectal cancer (CRC) follows the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) guidelines which define a set of 25 diagnostic report elements. To further develop the CRC diagnostic routine, multiple computational tools …
