aetherAI’s AI-assisted lymph node assessment workflow for detection improvement published to shorten 30% review time
aetherAI GigaPixel AI training method does not entail detailed annotation, significantly reducing annotation efforts.
aetherAI has designed an AI-assisted lymph node assessment workflow and revealed the improvement of micrometastasis identification sensitivity from 81% to 95%.
The development of AI applications has been the major driving force for digital transformation of pathology. The extreme resolution of whole slide images, however, posed grave challenges because there is limited memory on the compute accelerator. The typical workaround, the patch-based method, requires detailed annotation by pathologists, which makes the process extremely expensive and slow. aetherAI GigaPixel AI technology was developed to overcome this bottleneck by reducing the memory requirement during neural network computation, thereby allowing AI to be trained using entire undivided whole slide images. This results in dramatically improved throughput of pathology AI development.
“By reducing the need for detailed annotation, aetherAI GigaPixel technology is revolutionizing pathology AI development by training AI models in a more intuitive, economic, and clinically relevant manner,” said Joe Yeh, M.D., aetherAI founder and CEO. “Our research demonstrated the improvement of the pathologists’ review accuracy and decreased their time for review.” The review time per slide was shortened by around 30% on average. “In the near future, it’s expected to see the implementation of such AI-powered workflows in the real world to enhance the diagnosis quality,” Yeh emphasized.
The clinical experiments were conducted by using AI models trained on close to 6,000 high-resolution lymph node histopathology images and deployed into daily clinical workflow in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Group. CGMH Group is the largest private hospital group in Taiwan. It has been partnering with aetherAI in creating pathology AI applications to improve diagnostic efficiency since its pathology department underwent digital transformation in 2019.
