ARR-GCN: Anatomy-Relation Reasoning Graph Convolutional Network for Automatic Fine-Grained Segmentation of Organ's Surgical Anatomy.

Anatomical resection (AR) based on anatomical sub-regions is a promising method of precise surgical resection, which has been proven to improve long-term survival by reducing local recurrence. The fine-grained segmentation of an organ's surgical anatomy (FGS-OSA), i.e.

Deep Multi-Magnification Similarity Learning for Histopathological Image Classification.

Precise classification of histopathological images is crucial to computer-aided diagnosis in clinical practice. Magnification-based learning networks have attracted considerable attention for their ability to improve performance in histopathological classification. However, the fusion of pyramids of histopathological images at different magnifications is an under-explored area.

Weakly Supervised Framework for Cancer Region Detection of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Whole-Slide Pathologic Images Based on Multiscale Attention Convolutional Neural Network.

Visual inspection of hepatocellular carcinoma cancer regions by experienced pathologists in whole-slide images (WSIs) is a challenging, labor-intensive, and time-consuming task because of the large scale and high resolution of WSIs. Therefore, a weakly supervised framework based on a multiscale attention convolutional neural network (MSAN-CNN) was introduced into this process. Herein, patch-based images with image-level normal/tumor annotation (rather than images with pixel-level annotation) were fed into a classification neural network.

Fully-automated functional region annotation of liver via a 2.5D class-aware deep neural network with spatial adaptation.

Background And Objective: Automatic functional region annotation of liver should be very useful for preoperative planning of liver resection in the clinical domain. However, many traditional computer-aided annotation methods based on anatomical landmarks or the vascular tree often fail to extract accurate liver segments. Furthermore, these methods are difficult to fully automate and thus remain time-consuming.
