Weakly supervised multiple instance learning histopathological tumor segmentation
Histopathological image segmentation is a challenging and important topic in medical imaging with tremendous potential impact in clinical practice. State of the art methods rely on hand-crafted annotations which hinder clinical translation since histology suffers from significant variations between cancer phenotypes. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised framework for whole slide imaging segmentation that relies on standard clinical annotations, available in most medical systems. In particular, we exploit a multiple instance learning scheme for training models. The proposed framework has been evaluated on multi-locations and multi-centric public data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and the PatchCamelyon dataset. Promising results when compared with experts' annotations demonstrate the potentials of the presented approach. The complete framework, including $6481$ generated tumor maps and data processing, is available at https://github.com/marvinler/tcga_segmentation.
