Cell segmentation in microscopy images is a common and challenging task. In recent years, deep neural networks achieved remarkable improvements in the field of computer vision. The dominant paradigm in segmentation is using convolutional neural netwo...
Manual hand counting of parasites in fecal samples requires costly components and substantial expertise, limiting its use in resource-constrained settings and encouraging overuse of prophylactic medication. To address this issue, a cost-effective, au...

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of most cancers is made by a board-certified pathologist based on a tissue biopsy under the microscope. Recent research reveals a high discordance between individual pathologists. For melanoma, the literature reports 25-26% ...
PURPOSE: Recent advances in machine learning have enabled better understanding of large and complex visual data. Here, we aim to investigate patient outcome prediction with a machine learning method using only an image of tumour sample as an input.

Here, a streamlined, scalable, laboratory approach is discussed that enables medium-to-large dataset analysis. The presented approach combines data management, artificial intelligence, containerization, cluster orchestration, and quality control in a...
Accurate segmentation of the sperms in microscopic semen smear images is a prerequisite step in automatic sperm morphology analysis. It is a challenging task due to the non-uniform distribution of light in semen smear images, low contrast between spe...
