A neural pathomics framework for classifying colorectal cancer histopathology images based on wavelet multi-scale texture analysis.
Scientific Reports 2021 July 31
Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females. Precise histopathological classification of CRC tissue pathology is the cornerstone not only for diagnosis but also for patients' management decision making. An automated system able to accurately classify different CRC tissue regions may increase diagnostic precision and alleviate clinical workload. However, tissue classification is a challenging task due to the variability in morphological and textural characteristics present in histopathology images. In this study, an artificial neural network was trained to classify between eight classes of CRC tissue image patches derived from a public dataset with 5000 CRC histopathology image tiles. A total of 532 multi-level pathomics features examined at different scales were extracted by visual descriptors such as local binary patterns, wavelet transforms and Gabor filters. An exhaustive evaluation involving a variety of wavelet families and parameters was performed in order to shed light on the impact of scale on pathomics based CRC tissue differentiation. Our model achieved a performance accuracy of 95.3% with tenfold cross validation demonstrating superior performance compared to 87.4% reported in recent studies. Furthermore, we experimentally showed that the first and the second levels of the wavelet approximations can be used without compromising classification performance.
