Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Automated Labeling of Cancer Textures in Larynx Histopathology Slides Using Quasi-Supervised Learning(Science Printers and Publishers Inc., 2014) Önder, Devrim; Sarıoğlu, Sülen; Karaçalı, BilgeOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a quasisupervised statistical learning algorithm, operating on datasets having normal and neoplastic tissues, to identify larynx squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, cancer texture separability measures against normal tissues are to be developed and compared either for colorectal or larynx tissues. STUDY DESIGN: Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from laryngectomy materials including squamous cell carcinoma and nonneoplastic regions. The texture features were calculated by using co-occurrence matrices and local histograms. The texture features were input to the quasisupervised learning algorithm. RESULTS: Larynx regions containing squamous cell carcinomas were accurately identified, having false and true positive rates up to 21% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Larynx squamous cell carcinoma versus normal tissue texture separability measures were higher than colorectal adenocarcinoma versus normal textures for the colorectal database. Furthermore, the resultant labeling performances for all larynx datasets are higher than or equal to that of colorectal datasets. The results in larynx datasets, in comparison with the former colorectal study, suggested that quasi-supervised texture classification is to be a helpful method in histopathological image classification and analysis.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Gri Seviye Birliktelik Matrisi Öznitelikleri ve Manifold Öğrenme Yardımıyla Histoloji Görüntülerinde Otomatik Doku Sınıflandırılması(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Önder, Devrim; Karaçalı, BilgeThe aim of this work is to perform automated texture classification of histology slides using grayscale images and manifold learning method. Texture feature vectors were obtained using local gray scale co-occurrence matrices and the dimension of the feature vector space was lowered using Isomap dimension reduction. In a lower dimension feature space, k-means clustering operation was performed in order to provide separate texture clusters. In this work, experimental results were obtained using human kidney histology slides. Corresponding feature vectors and determined texture types were given as results.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 20Automated Labelling of Cancer Textures in Colorectal Histopathology Slides Using Quasi-Supervised Learning(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Önder, Devrim; Sarıoğlu, Sülen; Karaçalı, BilgeQuasi-supervised learning is a statistical learning algorithm that contrasts two datasets by computing estimate for the posterior probability of each sample in either dataset. This method has not been applied to histopathological images before. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the method to identify colorectal tissues with or without adenocarcinoma. Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from 30 colorectal radical surgery materials including adenocarcinoma and non-neoplastic regions. The texture features were extracted by using local histograms and co-occurrence matrices. The quasi-supervised learning algorithm operates on two datasets, one containing samples of normal tissues labelled only indirectly, and the other containing an unlabeled collection of samples of both normal and cancer tissues. As such, the algorithm eliminates the need for manually labelled samples of normal and cancer tissues for conventional supervised learning and significantly reduces the expert intervention. Several texture feature vector datasets corresponding to different extraction parameters were tested within the proposed framework. The Independent Component Analysis dimensionality reduction approach was also identified as the one improving the labelling performance evaluated in this series. In this series, the proposed method was applied to the dataset of 22,080 vectors with reduced dimensionality 119 from 132. Regions containing cancer tissue could be identified accurately having false and true positive rates up to 19% and 88% respectively without using manually labelled ground-truth datasets in a quasi-supervised strategy. The resulting labelling performances were compared to that of a conventional powerful supervised classifier using manually labelled ground-truth data. The supervised classifier results were calculated as 3.5% and 95% for the same case. The results in this series in comparison with the benchmark classifier, suggest that quasi-supervised image texture labelling may be a useful method in the analysis and classification of pathological slides but further study is required to improve the results.
