• Abstract summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis included diagnostic accuracy studies using any type of artificial intelligence applied to whole slide images (WSIs) in any disease type. 100 studies were identified for inclusion, equating to over 152,000 whole slide images (WSIs) and representing many disease types. These studies reported a mean sensitivity of 96.3% (CI 94.1-97.7) and mean specificity of 93.3% (CI 90.5-95.4) for AI. Overall, AI offers good accuracy when applied to WSIs but requires more rigorous evaluation of its performance.

• Abstract: Ensuring diagnostic performance of AI models before clinical use is key to the safe and successful adoption of these technologies. Studies reporting AI applied to digital pathology images for diagnostic purposes have rapidly increased in number in recent years. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of the diagnostic accuracy of AI in digital pathology images from all areas of pathology. This systematic review and meta-analysis included diagnostic accuracy studies using any type of artificial intelligence applied to whole slide images (WSIs) in any disease type. The reference standard was diagnosis through histopathological assessment and / or immunohistochemistry. Searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL in June 2022. We identified 2976 studies, of which 100 were included in the review and 48 in the full meta-analysis. Risk of bias and concerns of applicability were assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. Data extraction was conducted by two investigators and meta-analysis was performed using a bivariate random effects model. 100 studies were identified for inclusion, equating to over 152,000 whole slide images (WSIs) and representing many disease types. Of these, 48 studies were included in the meta-analysis. These studies reported a mean sensitivity of 96.3% (CI 94.1-97.7) and mean specificity of 93.3% (CI 90.5-95.4) for AI. There was substantial heterogeneity in study design and all 100 studies identified for inclusion had at least one area at high or unclear risk of bias. This review provides a broad overview of AI performance across applications in whole slide imaging. However, there is huge variability in study design and available performance data, with details around the conduct of the study and make up of the datasets frequently missing. Overall, AI offers good accuracy when applied to WSIs but requires more rigorous evaluation of its performance.

  This study focuses on the clinical evaluation of medical Synthetic Data Generation using Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. The paper contributes by a) presenting a protocol for the systematic evaluation of synthetic images by medical experts and b) applying it to assess TIDE-II, a novel variational autoencoder-based model for high-resolution WCE image synthesis. The results show that TIDE-II generates clinically relevant WCE images, helping to address data scarcity and enhance diagnostic tools.

  Methods: A search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and WHO-ICTRP was conducted. Risk of bias was assessed using PROBAST. There were 80 models of interest, including 37 diagnostic models, 22 prognostic models, and 21 models with other diagnostically relevant outcomes. All models were found to be at high or unclear risk of bias overall, with most research having a high risk of bias in the analysis.

  Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) can learn a data distribution from an unlabelled dataset of healthy subjects and then be applied to detect out of distribution samples. This research proposes a compact version of the "context-encoding" VAE (ceVAE) model, combined with pre and post-processing steps, creating a UAD pipeline (StRegA) The proposed pipeline achieved a Dice score of 0.642$pm$0.101 while detecting tumours in T2w images of the BraTS dataset and 0.859$pm$0.112 while detecting artificially induced anomalies.

  We conducted a Systematic Literature Review to identify the state-of-art of computer vision techniques currently applied to cytology. The most used methods in the analyzed works are deep learning-based (70 papers), while fewer works employ classic computer vision only (101 papers) We conclude that there still is a lack of high-quality datasets for many types of stains and most of the works are not mature enough to be applied in a daily clinical diagnostic routine.
