WILSON - Multi-magnification composites as a foundation for patient-level pathology analysis and diagnostic text generation

Saghir Alfasly, Wataru Uegami, Sobhan Hemati +17

Pathologists examine tissue sections across multiple magnifications and slides, integrating morphological information to establish a diagnosis. In contrast, most pathology foundati…

Reducing Redundancy in Whole-Slide Image Patching for Scalable Indexing and Retrieval

Jialiang Geng, Ghazal Alabtah, Saghir Alfasly +2

The rapid growth of digital pathology has created an urgent need for efficient indexing and retrieval of whole slide images (WSIs). This need is intensified by emerging generative…

Retrieval-Guided Generation for Safer Histopathology Image Captioning

Md. Enamul Hoq, Wataru Uegami, Saghir Alfasly +6

Generative vision-language models can produce fluent medical image captions but remain prone to hallucination, over-specific diagnostic claims, and factual inconsistency-serious is…

Semantic and Visual Crop-Guided Diffusion Models for Heterogeneous Tissue Synthesis in Histopathology

Saghir Alfasly, Wataru Uegami, MD Enamul Hoq +2

Synthetic data generation in histopathology faces unique challenges: preserving tissue heterogeneity, capturing subtle morphological features, and scaling to unannotated datasets.…

Overfitting in Histopathology Model Training: The Need for Customized Architectures

Saghir Alfasly, Ghazal Alabtah, H. R. Tizhoosh

This study investigates the critical problem of overfitting in deep learning models applied to histopathology image analysis. We show that simply adopting and fine-tuning large-sca…

Aggregation Schemes for Single-Vector WSI Representation Learning in Digital Pathology

Sobhan Hemati, Ghazal Alabtah, Saghir Alfasly +1

A crucial step to efficiently integrate Whole Slide Images (WSIs) in computational pathology is assigning a single high-quality feature vector, i.e., one embedding, to each WSI. Wi…

Zero-Shot Whole Slide Image Retrieval in Histopathology Using Embeddings of Foundation Models

Saghir Alfasly, Ghazal Alabtah, Sobhan Hemati +2

We have tested recently published foundation models for histopathology for image retrieval. We report macro average of F1 score for top-1 retrieval, majority of top-3 retrievals, a…

Creating an Atlas of Normal Tissue for Pruning WSI Patching Through Anomaly Detection

Peyman Nejat, Areej Alsaafin, Ghazal Alabtah +7

Patching gigapixel whole slide images (WSIs) is an important task in computational pathology. Some methods have been proposed to select a subset of patches as WSI representation fo…
