Marika: I’m an MD, currently a trainee in obstetrics and gynecology and a PhD student in the University of Oulu, in the group of Terhi Piltonen. My research focuses on inflammation, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and combined contraceptives.
I study endometrial leukocytes and proliferation in PCOS with immunohistochemically stained endometrial samples.
As leukocytes are presented differently in these areas and the amount of epithelium & stroma differs between patients, this separation is crucial for good analysis.
I hoped that this AI could solve the problem, as otherwise I should either crop my images and rely on older manual techniques or even give up on this valuable project.
Very little, I had just got a tip that this could be a solution for my problem.
Altogether approximately 400 WSI, H-DAB nuclear stainings.
Algorithm is ready and data is being processed. I’m very happy with the algorithm, it did the job that I wanted it to do!
