Detection of lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancerOur new paper to fast-track development of a clinical-grade tool for detection of lymph node metastasis was published in Modern Pathology.
In this study, we validate our tool on the histological slides from five pathology departments showing nearly perfect sensitivity and very high specificity for this diagnostic task.

Segmentation tool for colorectal specimens / Validation studyOur new paper to development and extensive clinical validation of the AI tool for segmentation / processing of colorectal specimens was published in Modern Pathology. Our algorithm allows for precise, fully quantitative analysis of different tissue classes in colorectal specimens.
We validate the algorithm on one particular clinical, diagnostic task of the colorectal biopsy pre-screening for invasive carcinoma using large multi-institutional case cohort scanned by three different scanning systems.

Validation study / Prostate cancer detection and grading toolOur new paper to one of the largest validation studies for AI tools in digital pathology published to date (for prostate cancer detection and Gleason grading) was accepted in the NPJ Precision Oncology.
Five pathology institutes and 11 pathologists from all over the world participated in this study.
We also release valuable material (slides of prostate biopsies from two departments with grading ground truth by 11 pathologists) as a public dataset.

Oesophageal cancer tumor detection and regression grading toolOur new paper about tumor detection and regression grading in oesophageal adenocarcinoma was published in the Lancet Digital Health journal.
We show how computational tool can substantially improve tumor detection and histological regression grading in resection specimens from patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma and neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy.
