    Abstract: A method for processing electronic images using uncertainty estimation may be used to determine whether to use an artificial intelligence (AI) assisted prediction. The method may include receiving one or more electronic images associated with a pathology specimen and providing the one or more electronic images to a machine learning model. The machine learning model may perform operations including determining a certainty level corresponding to a certainty that a predetermined AI system will provide an accurate prediction, determining whether the certainty level equals or exceeds a predetermined confidence threshold, and, upon determining that the certainty level does not equal or exceed a predetermined confidence threshold, determining to not use the predetermined AI system.

  • Patent number: 12626365
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing digital pathology images, the method including receiving a plurality of digital pathology images of at least one pathology specimen, the pathology specimen being associated with a patient. The method may further include determining, using a machine learning system, whether artifacts or objects of interest are present on the digital pathology images. Once the machine learning system has determined that an artifact or object of interest is present, the system may determine one or more regions on the digital pathology images that contain artifacts or objects of interest. Once the system determines the regions on the digital pathology images that contain artifacts or objects of interest, the system may use a machine learning system to inpaint or suppress the region and output the digital pathology images with the artifacts or objects of interest inpainted or suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20250371752
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting attributes of whole slide images, including stains therein. A portion of a whole slide image comprised of a plurality of pixels in a first color space and including one or more stains may be received as input. Based on an identified stain type of the stain(s), a machine-learned transformation associated with the stain type may be retrieved and applied to convert an identified subset of the pixels from the first to a second color space specific to the identified stain type. One or more attributes of the stain(s) may be adjusted in the second color space to generate a stain-adjusted subset of pixels, which are then converted back to the first color space using an inverse of the machine-learned transformation. A stain-adjusted portion of the whole slide image including at least the stain-adjusted subset of pixels may be provided as output.
