Abstract
The assessment of pathological samples by molecular techniques, such as in situ hybridization (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC), has revolutionised modern Histopathology. Most often it is important to detect ISH/IHC reaction products in certain cells or tissue types. For instance, detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) in oropharyngeal cancer samples by ISH products is difficult and remains a tedious and time consuming task for experts. Here we introduce a proposed framework to segment epithelial regions in oropharyngeal tissue images with ISH staining. First, we use colour deconvolution to obtain a counterstain channel and generate input patches based on superpixels and their neighbouring areas. Then, a novel deep attention residual network is applied to identify the epithelial regions to produce an epithelium segmentation mask. In the experimental results, comparing the proposed network with other state-of-the-art deep learning approaches, our network provides a better performance than region-based and pixel-based segmentations.
