- Abstract: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a premalignant histopathological diagnosis
given to lesions of the oral cavity. OED grading is subject to large
inter/intra-rater variability, resulting in the under/over-treatment of
patients. We developed a new Transformer-based pipeline to improve detection
and segmentation of OED in haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained whole slide
images (WSIs). Our model was trained on OED cases (n = 260) and controls (n =
105) collected using three different scanners, and validated on test data from
three external centres in the United Kingdom and Brazil (n = 78). Our internal
experiments yield a mean F1-score of 0.81 for OED segmentation, which reduced
slightly to 0.71 on external testing, showing good generalisability, and
gaining state-of-the-art results. This is the first externally validated study
to use Transformers for segmentation in precancerous histology images. Our
publicly available model shows great promise to be the first step of a
fully-integrated pipeline, allowing earlier and more efficient OED diagnosis,
ultimately benefiting patient outcomes.

We present a weakly supervised method to generate a healthy version of a diseased image and then use it to obtain a pixel-wise anomaly map.
We employ a diffusion model trained on healthy samples and combine Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) and Denoising Implicit Model (DDIM) at each step of the sampling process.
We verify that when our method is applied to healthy samples, the input images are reconstructed without significant modifications.

We develop an artificial intelligence algorithm that can assign an Oral Malignant Transformation (OMT) risk score.
The algorithm is based on the detection and segmentation of nuclei within (and around) the epithelium using an in-house segmentation model.
The proposed OMTscore yields an AUROC = 0.74 in predicting whether an OED progresses to malignancy or not.

The study develops a predictive model of the pathological states based on morphological features (3D-morphomics) on Computed Tomography (CT) volumes.
An XGBoost supervised classifier is then trained and tested on the 3D-morphomics to predict the pathological states.
