Pathology-Informed Latent Diffusion Model for Anomaly Detection in Lymph Node Metastasis
- 用病理关键词指导扩散模型重建,区分正常与异常组织。
- 在胃和乳腺淋巴结数据集上均实现高检测性能。
- 适合缺乏标注数据的医学图像异常检测场景。
异常检测是数字病理学中一种新兴方法,能高效利用数据进行疾病诊断。尽管监督学习精度高,但依赖大量标注数据,在数字病理学中面临数据稀缺问题。无监督异常检测则通过识别偏离正常组织分布的样本,无需全面标注即可实现。近年来,去噪扩散概率模型在自然与医学图像的无监督异常检测中表现优异。本文结合视觉-语言模型与扩散模型,利用组织病理学提示进行重建,引入一组与正常组织相关的关键词指导重建过程,提升对正常与异常组织的区分能力。为验证方法有效性,我们在本地医院提供的胃淋巴结数据集上进行实验,并使用公开的乳腺淋巴结数据集评估其在领域偏移下的泛化能力。实验结果表明,该方法在不同器官的数字病理学无监督异常检测中具有潜力。代码已开源:https://github.com/QuIIL/AnoPILaD。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Anomaly detection is an emerging approach in digital pathology for its ability to efficiently and effectively utilize data for disease diagnosis. While supervised learning approaches deliver high accuracy, they rely on extensively annotated datasets, suffering from data scarcity in digital pathology. Unsupervised anomaly detection, however, offers a viable alternative by identifying deviations from normal tissue distributions without requiring exhaustive annotations. Recently, denoising diffusion probabilistic models have gained popularity in unsupervised anomaly detection, achieving promising performance in both natural and medical imaging datasets. Building on this, we incorporate a vision-language model with a diffusion model for unsupervised anomaly detection in digital pathology, utilizing histopathology prompts during reconstruction. Our approach employs a set of pathology-related keywords associated with normal tissues to guide the reconstruction process, facilitating the differentiation between normal and abnormal tissues. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conduct experiments on a gastric lymph node dataset from a local hospital and assess its generalization ability under domain shift using a public breast lymph node dataset. The experimental results highlight the potential of the proposed method for unsupervised anomaly detection across various organs in digital pathology. Code: https://github.com/QuIIL/AnoPILaD.
