HistoColAi: An open-source web platform for collaborative digital histology image annotation with AI-driven predictive integration.

Digital pathology is now a standard component of the pathology workflow, offering numerous benefits such as high-detail whole slide images and the capability for immediate case sharing between hospitals. Recent advances in deep learning-based methods for image analysis make them a potential aid in digital pathology. However, A significant challenge in developing computer-aided diagnostic systems for pathology is the lack of intuitive, open-source web applications for data annotation.

MICIL: Multiple-Instance Class-Incremental Learning for skin cancer whole slide images.

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents encounter the problem of catastrophic forgetting when they are trained in sequentially with new data batches. This issue poses a barrier to the implementation of AI-based models in tasks that involve ongoing evolution, such as cancer prediction. Moreover, whole slide images (WSI) play a crucial role in cancer management, and their automated analysis has become increasingly popular in assisting pathologists during the diagnosis process.

Annotation protocol and crowdsourcing multiple instance learning classification of skin histological images: The CR-AI4SkIN dataset.

Digital Pathology (DP) has experienced a significant growth in recent years and has become an essential tool for diagnosing and prognosis of tumors. The availability of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) and the implementation of Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have paved the way for the appearance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that support the diagnosis process. These systems require extensive and varied data for their training to be successful.

A Spitzoid Tumor dataset with clinical metadata and Whole Slide Images for Deep Learning models.

Spitzoid tumors (ST) are a group of melanocytic tumors of high diagnostic complexity. Since 1948, when Sophie Spitz first described them, the diagnostic uncertainty remains until now, especially in the intermediate category known as Spitz tumor of unknown malignant potential (STUMP) or atypical Spitz tumor. Studies developing deep learning (DL) models to diagnose melanocytic tumors using whole slide imaging (WSI) are scarce, and few used ST for analysis, excluding STUMP.
