Abstract:
A method of analyzing a plurality of histology slides is provided, wherein possible artefacts are detected at an early stage. This is achieved by including a preliminary imaging and image analysis step in the process flow; the step being executed preferably before any diagnostic assessment e.g. image analysis or manual reading is performed by a pathologist or a lab technician. Accordingly, the histology slides reaching the expert for image analysis are of a higher quality, since the slides are ideally free of artefacts. The method thus saves valuable time for the pathologist, since only artefact-free slides will be subject to a detailed analysis. Furthermore, the method minimizes the risk of misinterpretations leading to potentially false diagnoses. A deep learning model, is also disclosed, which is capable of automatically determining whether histopathological images are suitable for diagnostic and/or research assessment. A training of the deep learning model is also disclosed.
