• Abstract: Cancer is a leading cause of death in many countries. An early diagnosis of cancer based on biomedical imaging ensures effective treatment and a better prognosis. However, biomedical imaging presents challenges to both clinical institutions and researchers. Physiological anomalies are often characterized by slight abnormalities in individual cells or tissues, making them difficult to detect visually. Traditionally, anomalies are diagnosed by radiologists and pathologists with extensive training. This procedure, however, demands the participation of professionals and incurs a substantial cost. The cost makes large-scale biological image classification impractical. In this study, we provide unique deep neural network designs for multiclass classification of medical images, in particular cancer images. We incorporated transformers into a multiclass framework to take advantage of data-gathering capability and perform more accurate classifications. We evaluated models on publicly accessible datasets using various measures to ensure the reliability of the models. Extensive assessment metrics suggest this method can be used for a multitude of classification tasks.

  This paper introduces a novel lightweight multi-level adaptation and comparison framework to repurpose the CLIP model for medical anomaly detection. Our approach integrates multiple residual adapters into the pre-trained visual encoder, enabling a stepwise enhancement of visual features across different levels. Our experiments on medical anomaly detection benchmarks demonstrate that our method significantly surpasses current state-of-the-art models.

  High resolution scans of microscopy slides offer enough information for a cancer pathologist to come to a conclusion regarding cancer presence, subtype, and severity based on measurements of features within the slide image at multiple scales and resolutions. We explore approaches based on Reinforcement Learning and Beam Search to learn to progressively zoom into the WSI to detect Regions of Interest (ROIs) in liver pathology slides containing one of two types of liver cancer, namely Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) and Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) These ROIs can then be presented directly to the pathologist to aid in measurement and diagnosis or be used
