dc.description.abstractThe nuclei segmentation of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained histopathology images is an important prerequisite in designing a computer-aided diagnostics (CAD) system for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Automated nuclei segmentation methods enable the qualitative and quantitative analysis of tens of thousands of nuclei within H&E stained histopathology images. However, a major challenge during nuclei segmentation is the segmentation of variable sized, touching nuclei. To address this challenge, we present NucleiSegNet - a robust deep learning network architecture for the nuclei segmentation of H&E stained liver cancer histopathology images. Our proposed architecture includes three blocks: a robust residual block, a bottleneck block, and an attention decoder block. The robust residual block is a newly proposed block for the efficient extraction of high-level semantic maps. The attention decoder block uses a new attention mechanism for efficient object localization, and it improves the proposed architecture's performance by reducing false positives. When applied to nuclei segmentation tasks, the proposed deep-learning architecture yielded superior results compared to state-of-the-art nuclei segmentation methods. We applied our proposed deep learning architecture for nuclei segmentation to a set of H&E stained histopathology images from two datasets, and our comprehensive results show that our proposed architecture outperforms state-of-the-art methods. As part of this work, we also introduced a new liver dataset (KMC liver dataset) of H&E stained liver cancer histopathology image tiles, containing 80 images with annotated nuclei procured from Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangalore, Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Manipal, Karnataka, India.
