• Abstract summary: A novel method of data augmentation has been presented for the segmentation of placental histological images when the labeled data are scarce. This method generates new realizations of the placenta intervillous morphology while maintaining the general textures and orientations. A diversified artificial dataset of images is generated that can be used for training deep learning segmentation models.

• Abstract: In this study, a novel method of data augmentation has been presented for the segmentation of placental histological images when the labeled data are scarce. This method generates new realizations of the placenta intervillous morphology while maintaining the general textures and orientations. As a result, a diversified artificial dataset of images is generated that can be used for training deep learning segmentation models. We have observed that on average the presented method of data augmentation led to a 42% decrease in the binary cross-entropy loss of the validation dataset compared to the common approach in the literature. Additionally, the morphology of the intervillous space is studied under the effect of the proposed image reconstruction technique, and the diversity of the artificially generated population is quantified. Due to the high resemblance of the generated images to the real ones, the applications of the proposed method may not be limited to placental histological images, and it is recommended that other types of tissues be investigated in future studies.

  This study introduces the notion of a population-level context for pathology detection and employs a graph theoretic approach to model and incorporate it into the latent code of an autoencoder. PopuSense seeks to capture additional intra-group variations inherent in biomedical data that a local or global context of the convolutional model might miss or smooth out.

  A major drawback of ptychography is the long data acquisition time. We propose complementing sparsely acquired or undersampled data with data sampled from a deep generative network. Because the deep generative network is pre-trained and its output can be computed as we collect data, the experimental data and the time to acquire the data can be reduced.

  Optoacoustic (OA) imaging is based on excitation of biological tissues with nanosecond-duration laser pulses followed by detection of ultrasound waves generated via light-absorption-mediated thermoelastic expansion. OA imaging features a powerful combination between rich optical contrast and high resolution in deep tissues. No standardized datasets generated with different types of experimental set-up and associated processing methods are available to facilitate advances in broader applications of OA in clinical settings.

  High-resolution images hinder progress in digital pathology. patch-based processing often incorporates multiple instance learning (MIL) to aggregate local patch-level representations yielding image-level prediction. This paper proposes a transformer-based architecture specifically tailored for histological image classification. It combines fine-grained local attention with a coarse global attention mechanism to learn meaningful representations of high-resolution images at an efficient computational cost.
