Title
Development of a pathological image analysis and cell classification pipeline with convolutional neural network
Summary
In this study, we plan to develop an automated cell type classification pipeline, which includes nuclei segmentation, tumor cell, stromal cell, and lymphocyte classification, and extraction of tumor microenvironment-related features for lung cancer pathology images. The analysis pipeline developed in this study could greatly facilitate and empower comprehensive analysis of the spatial organization of cells, as well as their roles in tumor progression and metastasis. To achieve this goal we need pathology images and clinical data of lung cancer in the NLST as validation dataset.
Aims

1.Develop an automated cell type classification pipeline, which includes nuclei segmentation, convolutional neural network-based tumor cell, stromal cell, and lymphocyte classification, and extraction of tumor microenvironment-related features for lung cancer pathology images.
