The collaboration project between Wuhan Tongji Hospital and our laboratory began in July 2023. The collaboration focuses on exploring the recurrence patterns of liver cancer based on liver WSI slices. We utilized AI annotation tools to efficiently complete the identification and segmentation tasks of over 800 H&E and IHC slices, segmenting the most relevant liver cancer tumor regions on the WSI. Compared to traditional manual annotation methods, this approach saved 86% of the time.

The segmented image data, used as a key data item in downstream recurrence pattern classification tasks, improved the AUC from 0.72 to 0.79.
