• Abstract summary: We evaluate, compare, and improve existing generative model architectures to overcome domain shifts for immunofluorescence (IF) and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained microscopy images. Adapting the bias of the samples significantly improved the pixel-level segmentation for human kidney glomeruli and podocytes and improved the classification accuracy for human prostate biopsies by up to 14%.

• Abstract: The automated analysis of medical images is currently limited by technical and biological noise and bias. The same source tissue can be represented by vastly different images if the image acquisition or processing protocols vary. For an image analysis pipeline, it is crucial to compensate such biases to avoid misinterpretations. Here, we evaluate, compare, and improve existing generative model architectures to overcome domain shifts for immunofluorescence (IF) and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained microscopy images. To determine the performance of the generative models, the original and transformed images were segmented or classified by deep neural networks that were trained only on images of the target bias. In the scope of our analysis, U-Net cycleGANs trained with an additional identity and an MS-SSIM-based loss and Fixed-Point GANs trained with an additional structure loss led to the best results for the IF and H&E stained samples, respectively. Adapting the bias of the samples significantly improved the pixel-level segmentation for human kidney glomeruli and podocytes and improved the classification accuracy for human prostate biopsies by up to 14%.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder primarily affecting premature infants with lower weights. It causes proliferation of vessels in the retina and could result in vision loss and, eventually, retinal detachment, leading to blindness. In recent years, there has been a significant effort to automate the diagnosis using deep learning. This paper builds upon the success of previous models and develops a novel architecture, which combines object segmentation and convolutional neural networks (CNN) Our proposed system first trains an object segmentation model to identify the demarcation line at a pixel level and adds the resulting mask as an additional "color" channel in
