Abstract

Histopathology and allied sciences such as cytology have gained new perspectives as a result of the rise of digital pathology. Computer algorithms, specifically artificial-intelligence algorithms, can work on digitized slides to aid pathologists with theranostic and diagnostic duties. In recent years, machine learning has come a long way. Machine learning approaches such as segmentation and classifications have apparent advantage of doing pathological image analysis. In this research, I provide the findings of a search of the world’s biggest public archive ([TCGA]The Cancer Genome Atlas program run by the National Cancer Institute in the United States) of entire slide pictures of over 50 individuals with ovarian tumor cells. I successfully indexed and searched around high-resolution digital slides totaling 8 giga bytes of data composed of 8000 x 8500 pixels picture patches for the first time. This study demonstrate a pretained DCNN architecture -VGG16 which consist of 16 layers. The model was trained with 46 images, achieved an accuracy score of 44% due to the limitation issue. The proposed study is to use VGG16 model to classify the ovarian tumor using histopathological images.
