A new study published on arXiv evaluates ten different pipelines for whole-slide image retrieval in cancer pathology data. The research found that while the TITAN foundation model performed best, its advantage over patch-based and supervised methods was minimal. Performance varied significantly by organ and diagnosis, with challenging subtypes showing low accuracy, indicating limitations in morphology-based retrieval for clinical deployment. AI
