Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM: In pathology, the digitization of tissue slide images and the development of image analysis by deep learning have dramatically increased the amount of information obtainable from tissue slides. This advancement is anticipated to not only aid in pathological diagnosis, but also to enhance patient management. Deep learning-based image cytometry (DL-IC) is a technique that plays a pivotal role in this process, enabling cell identification and counting with precision. Accurate cell determination is essential when using this technique. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the performance of our DL-IC in cell identification.
