OBJECTIVE: Cervical cancer, as one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in women, is curable when detected early. However, automated algorithms for cervical pathology precancerous diagnosis are limited.
METHODS: In this paper, instead of popular patch-wise classification, an end-to-end patch-wise segmentation algorithm is proposed to focus on the spatial structure changes of pathological tissues. Specifically, a triple up-sampling segmentation network (TriUpSegNet) is constructed to aggregate spatial information. Second, a distribution consistency loss (DC-loss) is designed to constrain the model to fit the inter-class relationship of the cervix. Third, the Gauss-like weighted post-processing is employed to reduce patch stitching deviation and noise.
RESULTS: The algorithm is evaluated on three challenging and public datasets: 1) MTCHI for cervical precancerous diagnosis, 2) DigestPath for colon cancer, and 3) PAIP for liver cancer. The Dice coefficient is 0.7413 on the MTCHI dataset, which is significantly higher than the published state-of-the-art results.
CONCLUSION: Experiments on the public dataset MTCHI indicate the superiority of the proposed algorithm on cervical pathology precancerous diagnosis. In addition, the experiments on two other pathological datasets, i.e., DigestPath and PAIP, demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization ability of the TriUpSegNet and weighted post-processing on colon and liver cancers.
SIGNIFICANCE: The end-to-end TriUpSegNet with DC-loss and weighted post-processing leads to improved segmentation in pathology of various cancers.
