SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for computational pathology, enabling advanced analysis of whole-slide images and multiplexed data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Image Loading: Supports 160+ WSI formats (Aperio, NDPI, DICOM, OME-TIFF).
  • Preprocessing: Stain normalization, tissue/nucleus detection, artifact labeling.
  • Machine Learning: Pre-built HoVer-Net and HACTNet models for nucleus segmentation and classification.
  • Graph Construction: Build spatial graphs for cell-cell interaction analysis.
  • Multiparametric Imaging: Specialized workflows for CODEX, Vectra, and MERFISH data.
  • Use Case: Analyze tumor microenvironments by loading a whole-slide image, segmenting nuclei, quantifying marker expression, and building a spatial graph to study immune cell interactions.

Quick Start

Use the pathml skill to load the whole-slide image at 'path/to/slide.svs' and generate tiles of size 256x256.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load and preprocess whole-slide images for computational pathology?▼

Load 160+ WSI formats like Aperio, NDPI, and DICOM, then apply stain normalization and tissue detection. Generate tiles of specific sizes to prepare whole-slide images for downstream machine learning analysis.

What machine learning models are available for nucleus segmentation in histopathology slides?▼

Pre-built HoVer-Net and HACTNet models are integrated for nucleus segmentation and classification. Apply these models to whole-slide histopathology images to detect, segment, and classify nuclei.

Can I analyze multiplex imaging data like CODEX and MERFISH spatial omics?▼

Specialized workflows support multiparametric imaging data including CODEX, Vectra, and MERFISH. Load spatial omics datasets to quantify marker expression and analyze cell-cell interactions.

How do I build spatial graphs for cell-cell interaction analysis in tumor microenvironments?▼

Construct spatial graphs after segmenting nuclei and quantifying marker expression. Build these graphs to analyze cell-cell interactions and study immune cell dynamics within tumor microenvironments.

Does this computational pathology toolkit require specific format dependencies for OME-TIFF files?▼

No dependencies are required. The toolkit natively supports loading OME-TIFF whole-slide images alongside 160 other formats, enabling direct preprocessing without external library installations.

What is the best way to normalize staining artifacts in histology slides?▼

Apply stain normalization and artifact labeling during the preprocessing phase. Normalize histology slides to correct staining variations and label artifacts before running tissue and nucleus detection.
