| Popis | The diagnosis of solid tumors of epithelial origin (carcinomas) represents a major part of the workload in clinical histopathology. Distinguishing stroma from epithelium is a critical component of artificial intelligence (AI) methods developed to detect and analyze carcinomas. In this paper, we propose a novel automated workflow that enables large-scale guidance of AI methods to identify the epithelial component. The workflow is based on re-staining existing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slides by immunohistochemistry for cytokeratins - cytoskeleton components specific to epithelial cells. We also demonstrate how the automatically generated masks can be used to train modern AI image segmentation based on U-Net, resulting in reliable detection of epithelial regions in previously unseen H&E slides. |
