Deep Feature Fusion for Mitosis Counting
Each woman living in the United States has about 1 in 8 chance of developing invasive breast cancer. The mitotic cell count is one of the most common tests to assess the aggressiveness or grade of breast cancer. In this prognosis, histopathology images must be examined by a pathologist using high-resolution microscopes to count the cells. Unfortunately, this can be an exhaustive task with poor reproducibility, especially for non-experts. Deep learning networks have recently been adapted to medical applications which are able to automatically localize these regions of interest. However, these region-based networks lack the ability to take advantage of the segmentation features produced by a full image CNN which are often used as a sole method of detection. Therefore, the proposed method leverages Faster RCNN for object detection while fusing segmentation features generated by a UNet with RGB image features to achieve an F-score of 0.508 on the MITOS-ATYPIA 2014 mitosis counting challenge dataset, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
