Microvessel prediction in H&E Stained Pathology Images using fully convolutional neural networks

Abstract Background Pathological angiogenesis has been identified in many malignancies as a potential prognostic factor and target for therapy. In most cases, angiogenic analysis is based on the measurement of microvessel density (MVD) detected by immunostaining of CD31 or CD34. However, most retrie...
