This process is far from being perfect and can introduce some errors in the quality of the tissue sections (distortions, deformations, folds and tissue breaks). In this paper, we propose a deep learning (DL) method for the detection and segmentation of these damaged regions in whole slide images (WSIs). The proposed technique is based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and uses the U-net model to achieve the pixel-wise segmentation of these unwanted regions. The results obtained show that this technique yields satisfactory results and can be applied as a pre-processing step for automatic WSI analysis in order to prevent the use of the damaged areas in the evaluation processes.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Deep learning for damaged tissue detection and segmentation in Ki-67 brain tumor specimens based on the U-net model}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109874/PDF-MASTER/DOI.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpas.2018.125932}, keywords={damaged tissue regions detection, artifacts detection, deep learning, Ki-67 staining specimens}, }
