New K-CLUE framework enables annotation-free Ki67 cell typing

Researchers have developed K-CLUE, a novel framework for classifying Ki67 cells in breast cancer images without requiring manual annotations or dataset-specific training. The system segments nuclei, uses pretrained visual representations to encode them, and then applies k-means clustering to distinguish between Ki67-positive and Ki67-negative cells. K-CLUE demonstrates strong performance, outperforming existing methods like DeepLIIF and IHCScoreGAN on benchmark datasets, and highlights the importance of accounting for variance structure in pretrained embeddings for accurate cell typing. AI

IMPACT This framework could streamline cancer diagnostics by automating cell typing, potentially leading to faster and more consistent analysis of pathology images.

    K-CLUE: A Segmentation-to-Clustering Framework for Ki67 Cell Typing

    arXiv:2610.32493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ki67 is a key marker of tumor proliferation in breast cancer, but its quantification from immunohistochemistry images normally depends on supervised classifiers trained per dataset. We examine the role of frozen pretrained visual re…
