The Speciality Pathology Services unit located at the Charles River Laboratories UK site is increasing the speed and accuracy of image analysis in pre-clinical toxicology studies with Aiforia's AI software and services. Veterinary pathologists and scientists at the CRO are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to automate the analysis of lung fibrosis; producing data at high speed.
Automated image analysis of lung fibrosis
Overview of case study
- Sirius red stained rat lung sections
- AI model trained with 42 images
- AI model includes 7 feature classes:
Automated image analysis results
- Analysis of individual whole-slide images or in batches
- Results per individual image
- Result exported as csv/excel files or via API
- Area, count, percentages, septal thickness
Lung tissue detection
Lung parenchyma and structural collagen
Lung parenchyma and structural collagen
Lung parenchyma without alveolar space
Fibrotic lesion

AI model modification and re-training
- Easy to add training data and re-train the AI model
- Possible to modify the AI model classes
- Addition or removal of classes
- Re-arrangement of classes
