A multi-center performance assessment for automated histopathological classification and grading of glioma using whole slide images.

ABSTRACT: Accurate pathological classification and grading of gliomas is crucial in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The application of deep learning techniques holds promise for automated histological pathology diagnosis. In this study, we collected 733 whole slide images from four medical centers, of which 456 were used for model training, 150 for internal validation, and 127 for multi-center testing. The study includes 5 types of common gliomas. A subtask-guided multi-instance learning image-to-label training pipeline was employed. The pipeline leveraged "patch prompting" for the model to converge with reasonable computational cost. Experiments showed that an overall accuracy of 0.79 in the internal validation dataset. The performance on the multi-center testing dataset showed an overall accurac
