Abstract

Algoritmi umjetne inteligencije omogućuju računalima obavljanje inteligentnih zadataka. Veliki doprinos umjetne inteligencije očekuje se u medicini gdje bi ovakvi algoritmi mogli postati standard u svakodnevnom radu liječnika. Patologija je grana medicine koja se bavi proučavanjem bolesti, a velik dio posla odnosi se na mikroskopsku dijagnostiku bolesti, što znači da patolozi rade sa slikama. Duboke neuronske mreže inspirirane su načinom kako mozak obrađuje informacije, a posebno su prikladne za rad sa slikama. U ovom radu predložena je metoda za detekciju metastatskog tkiva na patohistološkim slikama presjeka limfnih čvorova, a temelji se na dubokim neuronskim mrežama. Predložena metoda postiže točnost od 86,57% na PatchCamelyon skupu podataka, a uspoređena je s drugim objavljenim metodama. PatchCamelyon je skup podataka od 327 680 slika u boji, veličine 96 x 96. Za svaku sliku, označeno je postojanje metastatskog tkiva u središnjem dijelu slike. Ovaj skup podataka nastao je nasumičnim izrezivanjem segmenata 400 preparata iz Camelyon16 skupa podataka. Augmentacija PatchCamelyon skupa podatka značajno utječe na točnost predložene metode. Korištenje većeg skupa podataka za učenje moglo bi dodatno povećati točnost predložene metode. Ovom metodom moguće je obraditi 250 slika u sekundi na prosječnom računalu. Podizanjem praga klasifikacije moguće je povećati preciznost predložene metode i koristiti je za brzu detekciju metastaza nad cijelim slikama patohistoloških presjeka limfnih čvorova. Ova metoda mogla bi ubrzati rad patologa označavanjem regija preparata koji nisu dio normalnog tkiva limfnog čvora.

Abstract (english)

Artificial intelligence algorithms allow computers to perform intelligent tasks. Big impact is expected in medicine where such algorithms could become a standard in the day-today work of doctors. Pathology is a branch of medicine that studies disease. A big part of it is related to microscopic disease diagnostics, which means pathologist work with images. Deep neural networks are inspired by the way the brain processes information and are particularly suitable for working with images. In this thesis, a method for detecting metastatic tissue in histopatological images of lymph node sections using deep neural networks is proposed. The proposed method achieves 86,57% accuracy on the PatchCamelyon data set and is compared with other published methods. PatchCamelyon is a collection of 327 680 color images with dimensions 96 x 96. For each image, there are annotations of metastatic tissue presence in the central image region. This data set was generated by extracting segments of 400 whole-slide images from the Camelyon16 data set. Augmentation of the PatchCamelyon data set significantly influences the accuracy of the proposed method. Using a larger training data set could increase the accuracy of this method. This method can be used on an average computer in real-time, as it can process 250 images per second. By increasing the classification threshold, it is possible to increase the accuracy of the proposed method so it can be used for fast detection of metastases in whole-slide images of lymph nodes. This method could accelerate the work of pathologists by marking regions of a whole-slide image which are not part of the normal lymph node tissue.
