AI Medical Devices: Liver Biopsy Image Analysis

Project Intro

Liver histopathology image analysis is a commonly used approach to confirm the decision in liver diseases diagnosis. Current assistive histopathology image analysis systems have their function limitations in extracting morphology features, effective discrimination of cancer and normal tissues. Furthermore, some disease types of cells have highly varied features and ambiguous boundary. Some region segmentation such as the portal area segmentation, also need to refer to surrounding cells. All of these characteristics make the analysis of liver histopathology image very challenging. In view of these limitations, this project aims to develop new deep learning modules, combined with image analysis, for the analysis of liver histopathology images, the detection of liver cancers, the grading of inflammation degrees. The results will be realized into a practical system for doctors to test and provide feedback, for achieving the precision medicine.
