Deep Learning for Whole-Slide Tissue Histopathology Classification: A Comparative Study in the Identification of Dysplastic and Non-Dysplastic Barrett’s Esophagus
The gold standard of histopathology for the diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is hindered by inter-observer variability among gastrointestinal pathologists.

Sumario: | The gold standard of histopathology for the diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is hindered by inter-observer variability among gastrointestinal pathologists. Deep learning-based approaches have shown promising results in the analysis of whole-slide tissue histopathology images (WSIs). We performed a comparative study to elucidate the characteristics and behaviors of different deep learning-based feature representation approaches for the WSI-based diagnosis of diseased esophageal architectures, namely, dysplastic and non-dysplastic BE. The results showed that if appropriate settings are chosen, the unsupervised feature representation approach is capable of extracting more relevant image features from WSIs to classify and locate the precursors of esophageal cancer compared to weakly supervised and fully supervised approaches. |
