Abstract
Pathological image analysis is a crucial field in computer-aided diagnosis. Transfer learning using models initialized on natural images has improved the downstream pathological performance. However, the lack of sophisticated domain-specific pathological initialization hinders their potential. Self-supervised learning (SSL) enables pre-training without sample-level labels, overcoming the challenge of expensive annotations. Thus, this field calls for a comprehensive dataset, similar to the ImageNet in computer vision. This work introduces a large-scale comprehensive pathological image analysis (CPIA) dataset for SSL pre-training. The CPIA dataset contains 148,962,586 images, covering over 48 organs/tissues and approximately 100 kinds of diseases, which includes two main data types: whole slide images (WSIs) and regions of interest (ROIs) images. Furthermore, we establish a standard multi-scale pathological data processing workflow, combined with the diagnosis habits of senior pathologists. The CPIA dataset facilitates a comprehensive pathological understanding and enables pattern discovery explorations. Additionally, to launch the CPIA dataset, several state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines of SSL pre-training and downstream evaluation are specially conducted. The CPIA dataset information and code are available at https://github.com/zhanglab2021/CPIA_Dataset.
期刊介绍:
Biomedical Signal Processing and Control aims to provide a cross-disciplinary international forum for the interchange of information on research in the measurement and analysis of signals and images in clinical medicine and the biological sciences. Emphasis is placed on contributions dealing with the practical, applications-led research on the use of methods and devices in clinical diagnosis, patient monitoring and management.
Biomedical Signal Processing and Control reflects the main areas in which these methods are being used and developed at the interface of both engineering and clinical science. The scope of the journal is defined to include relevant review papers, technical notes, short communications and letters. Tutorial papers and special issues will also be published.
