用AI自动计算乳腺癌增殖指标,比人工更准更快

Single Shot AI-assisted quantification of KI-67 proliferation index in breast cancer

  • 基于YOLOv8模型识别肿瘤细胞中的增殖标记物
  • 检测准确率超85%,显著提升量化一致性
  • 适合病理科医生快速辅助诊断,临床推广潜力大

Ki-67是乳腺癌分子分型和治疗决策的关键增殖标志物,传统视觉评估和手动计数存在观察者间差异和可重复性差的问题。本研究提出一种基于YOLOv8目标检测框架的AI辅助方法,对40倍放大下免疫组化染色肿瘤区域的高分辨率数字图像进行分析。由领域专家标注热点区域中Ki-67阳性与阴性细胞,数据集经增强后划分为训练(80%)、验证(10%)和测试(10%)集。在多个YOLOv8变体中,中等规模模型表现最优,对Ki-67阳性细胞的平均精度(mAP50)超过85%。该方法提供了一种高效、可扩展且客观的替代方案,有助于提升Ki-67评估的一致性。未来将开发用户友好的临床界面,并拓展至多中心数据集以增强泛化能力,推动其在诊断实践中的广泛应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reliable quantification of Ki-67, a key proliferation marker in breast cancer, is essential for molecular subtyping and informed treatment planning. Conventional approaches, including visual estimation and manual counting, suffer from interobserver variability and limited reproducibility. This study introduces an AI-assisted method using the YOLOv8 object detection framework for automated Ki-67 scoring. High-resolution digital images (40x magnification) of immunohistochemically stained tumor sections were captured from Ki-67 hotspot regions and manually annotated by a domain expert to distinguish Ki-67-positive and negative tumor cells. The dataset was augmented and divided into training (80%), validation (10%), and testing (10%) subsets. Among the YOLOv8 variants tested, the Medium model achieved the highest performance, with a mean Average Precision at 50% Intersection over Union (mAP50) exceeding 85% for Ki-67-positive cells. The proposed approach offers an efficient, scalable, and objective alternative to conventional scoring methods, supporting greater consistency in Ki-67 evaluation. Future directions include developing user-friendly clinical interfaces and expanding to multi-institutional datasets to enhance generalizability and facilitate broader adoption in diagnostic practice.
