Purpose: Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is an hematologic malignancy with prognostic heterogeneity. We aimed to develop and validate DeepENKTCL, an interpretable deep learning prediction system for prognosis risk stratification in ENKTCL.

Methods: A total of 562 patients from four centers were divided into the training cohort, validation cohort and test cohort.

Accurate segmentation of multiple organs in the head, neck, chest, and abdomen from medical images is an essential step in computer-aided diagnosis, surgical navigation, and radiation therapy. In the past few years, with a data-driven feature extraction approach and end-to-end training, automatic deep learning-based multi-organ segmentation methods have far outperformed traditional methods and become a new research topic. This review systematically summarizes the latest research in this field.

In the study of the deep learning classification of medical images, deep learning models are applied to analyze images, aiming to achieve the goals of assisting diagnosis and preoperative assessment. Currently, most research classifies and predicts normal and cancer cells by inputting single-parameter images into trained models. However, for ovarian cancer (OC), identifying its different subtypes is crucial for predicting disease prognosis.

Article Synopsis
  • The importance of evaluating morphologic features like inflammation and gastric atrophy for diagnosing gastritis is emphasized, but traditional AI methods have limitations in this area.
  • A new model, called AMMNet, was created to diagnose multiple gastritis indicators simultaneously using weak labels, demonstrating a high performance in assessing activity, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia in a study with 1096 patients.
  • AMMNet improved junior pathologists' accuracy and efficiency, reducing false-negative rates and diagnostic time, and also provided a better visualization of the relevant features in whole slide images.

Background: Whole Slide Image (WSI) analysis, driven by deep learning algorithms, has the potential to revolutionize tumor detection, classification, and treatment response prediction. However, challenges persist, such as limited model generalizability across various cancer types, the labor-intensive nature of patch-level annotation, and the necessity of integrating multi-magnification information to attain a comprehensive understanding of pathological patterns.

Methods: In response to these challenges, we introduce MAMILNet, an innovative multi-scale attentional multi-instance learning framework for WSI analysis.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to train a model on a labeled source domain and adapt it to an unlabeled target domain. In medical image segmentation field, most existing UDA methods rely on adversarial learning to address the domain gap between different image modalities. However, this process is complicated and inefficient.

Article Synopsis
  • Developed a deep learning framework that predicts lymph node status in cervical cancer patients using stained images of their tumors, with a total of 1524 images from 564 patients studied.
  • The study utilized a multi-instance deep convolutional neural network and included various training and testing sets, achieving strong predictive performance with area under the curve values between 0.75 and 0.91 for identifying lymph node metastasis.
  • The network was specifically retrained to evaluate para-aortic lymph node metastases in patients with positive pelvic lymph nodes, showing promising results that suggest deep learning could enhance diagnostic accuracy based on pathological images.

Article Synopsis
  • Histopathology image classification involves analyzing whole-slide images (WSIs) to identify diseases, and conventional methods have limitations in fully utilizing instance-level data by treating the images as a collection of patches.
  • This article introduces a new framework that employs negative instance-guided self-distillation, allowing for training of a more accurate instance-level classifier by incorporating negative examples to improve distinction between positive and negative labels.
  • Extensive testing on multiple pathological datasets demonstrates that this new approach significantly outperforms existing techniques, with plans to make the code publicly available for further research.

Computer-aided diagnosis of chest X-ray (CXR) images can help reduce the huge workload of radiologists and avoid the inter-observer variability in large-scale early disease screening. Recently, most state-of-the-art studies employ deep learning techniques to address this problem through multi-label classification. However, existing methods still suffer from low classification accuracy and poor interpretability for each diagnostic task.

Histopathological images contain abundant phenotypic information and pathological patterns, which are the gold standards for disease diagnosis and essential for the prediction of patient prognosis and treatment outcome. In recent years, computer-automated analysis techniques for histopathological images have been urgently required in clinical practice, and deep learning methods represented by convolutional neural networks have gradually become the mainstream in the field of digital pathology. However, obtaining large numbers of fine-grained annotated data in this field is a very expensive and difficult task, which hinders the further development of traditional supervised algorithms based on large numbers of annotated data.

Intravenous thrombolysis is the most commonly used drug therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke, which is often accompanied by complications of intracerebral hemorrhage transformation (HT). This study proposed to build a reliable model for pretreatment prediction of HT. Specifically, 5400 radiomics features were extracted from 20 regions of interest (ROIs) of multiparametric MRI images of 71 patients.
