MetFinder: a neural network-based tool for automated quantitation of metastatic burden in histological sections from animal models

Abstract Diagnosis of most diseases relies on expert histopathological evaluation of tissue sections by an experienced pathologist. By using standardized staining techniques and an expanding repertoire of markers, a trained eye is able to recognize disease-specific patterns with high accuracy and determine a diagnosis. As efforts to study mechanisms of metastasis and novel therapeutic approaches m…
