  • 用轻量模型在手机端运行,实时检测厚血涂片中的疟原虫。
  • 检测准确率mAP达0.863,显微镜片级相关性高达0.951。
  • 符合临床需求,适合资源匮乏地区医生辅助诊断使用。

疟疾仍是资源匮乏地区的主要致死病因,而专业显微镜医师稀缺。基于显微图像的自动化诊断具有显著潜力。但算法部署需满足一系列非机器学习常规的临床约束。本文与国家级卫生中心密切合作,开发了一套满足其关键要求的疟疾诊断流程,包括:(i) 停止准则(减少图像采集与出结果时间);(ii) 人机协同功能(用于审查与责任追溯);(iii) 多物种区分(因治疗方案依物种而异);(iv) 厚血膜检测(显微镜标准方法);(v) 计算高效不确定性评估(辅助医生判断);(vi) 边缘设备平台(适应网络不稳定环境)。该移动系统通过TensorFlow Lite在本地部署YOLOv13n,对Giemsa染色厚血涂片图像检测四种疟原虫及白细胞,将每张图像的检测结果聚合为片级寄生虫密度,采用世界卫生组织(WHO)标准量化。在2,739张标注图像上评估,系统达到[email protected]为0.863,单图寄生虫计数相关系数r = 0.812,片级相关系数r = 0.951(软计数,10张图像/片),全程离线运行,每张图像处理时间为10.27 ± 1.65秒。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Malaria remains a leading cause of mortality in resource-limited settings, where expert microscopists are scarce. Automated diagnosis based on microscopy images thus has strong potential to improve care delivery. But for an algorithm to deploy, a necessary requirement is that it meet a suite of non-obvious (from a machine learning (ML) perspective) clinical constraints. Therefore, in close consultation with a national health center we developed a malaria diagnosis pipeline which addresses key requirements listed by the health care center but typically ignored in the ML malaria literature. In particular, it includes: (i) stopping criteria (to reduce image acquisition and time-to-result); (ii) human-in-the-loop functionality (for review and accountability); (iii) multi-species discrimination (since treatment varies by species); (iv) thick film detection (standard for microscopy); (v) computationally-efficient uncertainty calculations (to aid clinician review); and (vi) an edge device platform (since internet can be spotty in this catchment area). The mobile system performs all inference on-device using YOLOv13n deployed via TensorFlow Lite. It detects four species and white blood cells from Giemsa-stained thick blood smear images, aggregating per-image detections into slide-level parasitemia with World Health Organization (WHO)-standard quantification. This paper highlights these various clinical constraints and offers methods to address them. Evaluated on 2,739 annotated images across all four species, the system achieves [email protected] of 0.863, per-image parasite count correlation of r = 0.812, slide-level r = 0.951 (soft counting, 10 images/slide), and runs entirely offline with a pipeline time of 10.27 +- 1.65 s per image.
