Generative AI for Mitosis Synthesis in Histopathology Images
(University of Surrey, 2024-09) Alkhadra, Rahaf; Rai, Taran; Wells, Kevin
Identifying mitotic figures has been established as an effective method of fighting cancer at its most vulnerable stage. Traditional methods rely on manual, slow, and invasive detection methods obtained from sectioned tissue samples to acquire histopathological images. Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) in oncology has produced a paradigm shift in the fight against cancer, also known as computational oncology. This is heavily reliant on the availability of mitotic figure datasets to train models; however, such datasets are limited in size, type, and may infringe on patient privacy. It is hypothesised that the potential of computational oncology can be realised by synthesising realistic and diverse histopathological datasets using Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). This report demonstrates a comparison of Denoising Probabilistic Diffusion Models (DDPM) and StyleGAN3 in generating synthetic histopathology images, with mitotic figures. The MIDOG++ dataset containing human and canine samples with 7 types of tumours was used to train the models. Quality and similarity of generated and real images was evaluated using as Frechet Inception Distance (FID), Mean Square Error (MSE), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), and Area Under the Curve (AUC) as a part of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) study were incorporated. Our results suggests that the DDPM model is superior in terms of structural accuracy, however, StyleGAN3 capture the colour scheme better.
