This in-person workshop presented by Ricardo Henao, PhD; Associate Professor, Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics; Chief AI Scientist, Duke AI Health, Akhil Ambekar, MS; Fellow, AI Health Data Science Fellowship Program, with Shelley Rusincovitch, MMCi; Managing Director, Duke AI Health, will give you hands-on experience in working with medical digital pathology images using machine learning. Our use case will be in whole slide images of lymph node sections. We will use the CAMELYON16 dataset (https://camelyon16.grand-challenge.org/), which consists of 400 hematoxylin and eosin-stained whole-slide images. During the workshop, you will learn how to retrieve, manage, and process these images, then apply a machine learning model based on a neural network architecture to classify image regions as normal or malignant. The techniques you learn will also be broadly applicable to other types of medical imaging.
