How does Histolab help with machine learning data preparation?

It automates the tedious task of breaking down gigapixel slides into smaller, manageable tiles and uses scoring functions to ensure only the most informative tissue samples are used for training.

What image formats does the Histolab skill support?

Histolab supports common Whole Slide Image (WSI) formats used in pathology, including SVS, TIFF, and NDPI, leveraging pyramidal image structures for efficient access.

Can I filter out artifacts like pen marks or background from slides?

Yes, Histolab provides specialized masks and filters, such as TissueMask and custom morphological pipelines, specifically designed to isolate tissue and remove non-informative artifacts.

What is the benefit of using the ScoreTiler?

The ScoreTiler ranks tiles based on specific biological features, such as nuclei density, allowing you to prioritize regions with high cellularity for your analysis or model training.

データサイエンスとML

Processes whole slide images (WSI) for digital pathology by automating tissue detection and tile extraction for machine learning pipelines.

概要

Histolab is a specialized toolkit designed for digital pathology workflows, specifically handling gigapixel Whole Slide Images (WSI) in formats like SVS, TIFF, and NDPI. It enables researchers and developers to automatically detect tissue regions, apply sophisticated morphological filters, and extract informative tiles using random, grid, or score-based strategies. By simplifying the preprocessing of massive histological images, it provides a robust foundation for building deep learning models and computational pathology datasets.
