Abstract:Problem: The past decades have yielded an explosion of research using artificial intelligence for cancer detection and diagnosis in the field of computational pathology. Yet, an often unspoken assumption of this research is that a glass microscopy slide faithfully represents the underlying disease. Here we show systematic failure modes may dominate the slides digitized from a given medical center, such that neither the whole slide images nor the glass slides are suitable for rendering a diagnosis. Methods: We … Show more
