MORI-Seg: Learning Morphological Geometry for Instance Segmentation without Instance Annotations
Leiyue Zhao, Tianyu Shi, Daniel Reisenbuchler +12
Instance-level quantification of kidney functional units is essential for morphometric analysis, yet most publicly available pathology datasets provide only semantic segmentation a…
DUET: Dual-Paradigm Adaptive Expert Triage with Single-cell Inductive Prior for Spatial Transcriptomics Prediction
Junchao Zhu, Ruining Deng, Junlin Guo +11
Inferring spatially resolved gene expression from histology images offers a cost-effective complement to spatial transcriptomics (ST). However, existing methods reduce this task to…
Evaluating Cell AI Foundation Models in Kidney Pathology with Human-in-the-Loop Enrichment
Junlin Guo, Siqi Lu, Can Cui +14
Training AI foundation models has emerged as a promising large-scale learning approach for addressing real-world healthcare challenges, including digital pathology. While many of t…
How Close Are We? Limitations and Progress of AI Models in Banff Lesion Scoring
Yanfan Zhu, Juming Xiong, Ruining Deng +7
The Banff Classification provides the global standard for evaluating renal transplant biopsies, yet its semi-quantitative nature, complex criteria, and inter-observer variability p…
Circle Representation for Medical Instance Object Segmentation
Juming Xiong, Ethan H. Nguyen, Yilin Liu +8
Recently, circle representation has been introduced for medical imaging, designed specifically to enhance the detection of instance objects that are spherically shaped (e.g., cells…
Evaluating New AI Cell Foundation Models on Challenging Kidney Pathology Cases Unaddressed by Previous Foundation Models
Runchen Wang, Junlin Guo, Siqi Lu +12
Accurate cell nuclei segmentation is critical for downstream tasks in kidney pathology and remains a major challenge due to the morphological diversity and imaging variability of r…
