Varying pixel resolution significantly improves deep learning-based carotid plaque histology segmentation by Yurim Lee, Rashid Al Mukaddim, Tenzin Ngawang, Shahriar Salamat, Carol C. Mitchell, Jenna Maybock, Stephanie M. Wilbrand, Robert J. Dempsey, Tomy Varghese

“…To address this, we sampled 1944 regions of interests from 323 whole slide images and drastically varied their pixel resolution from $$1.96\upmu m \times 1.96\upmu m$$ to $$26.5\upmu m \times 26.5\upmu m$$ as we anticipated that varying the pixel resolution of histology images can provide neural networks more ’context’ that pathologists also rely on. We were able to train Mask R-CNN using regions of interests with varied pixel resolution, with a $$7\%$$ increase in pixel accuracy versus training with patches. …”
