Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Histologic assessment of the immune infiltrate in H&E slides is vital in diagnosing and managing inflammatory bowel diseases, but these assessments are subjective and time-consuming even for those with expertise. The development of deep learning models to aid in these assessments has been limited by the paucity of image data with reliably annotated immune cells available for training.
