Artificial Intelligence (Research Use Only)
Figure was modified from Nature Medicine, 26, 1 (see below)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on Machine Learning (ML) is being widely explored for clinical applications and is poised to change the future of medicine. SRH images are perfect for AI/ML approaches in that they are based on detailed spectroscopic information of the native specimen and do not rely on manual staining and sectioning, which are known to cause significant site-to-site variation in traditional histologic data. Hollon et al. demonstrated in 2020 that a convolutional neuronal network (CNN) that was trained on over 2.5 million labeled image patches from over 415 patients was able to classify an SRH image into one of the 13 most common disease classes encountered in neuropathology.
The decision tree and examples for each class are shown in the figure. The output was validated on 278 independent samples from three (3) institutions, which were not included in the training set. Based on these promising results and the ever-growing training dataset, Invenio is collaborating with our customers to develop AI-based image classification products that will serve as aids to surgeons and pathologists. Current AI implementations are for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
