Pan-cancer diagnostic consensus through searching archival histopathology images using artificial intelligence
Abstract The emergence of digital pathology has opened new horizons for histopathology. Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are able to operate on digitized slides to assist pathologists with different tasks. Whereas AI-involving classification and segmentation methods have obvious benefits for...
