Histopathology artifact detection accuracy hinges on tissue detection methods

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the impact of tissue detection methods on the accuracy of diffusion-based histopathology artifact detectors. The study found that different tissue detection techniques significantly influence the false positive rates of these detectors, with entropy-based detection outperforming Otsu-based methods. The composition of the 'clean pool' used for training, specifically the inclusion of clear-space tissues, was identified as a key factor in false positives, rather than just the size of the pool. This research highlights the critical role of tissue detection in quality control for one-class artifact detection models in histopathology. AI

IMPACT Highlights how preprocessing choices in AI models can significantly impact diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.

    Tissue Detection Determines False Positives in Diffusion-Based Histopathology Artifact Detection

    arXiv:2609.40083v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One-class artifact detectors for whole-slide images learn normal tissue from a clean training pool and flag departures from it. The pool is built by a preprocessing pipeline whose tissue-detection step is usually treated as neutra…
