ABSTRACT
Glomerulus morphology on renal pathology images provides valuable diagnosis and outcome prediction information. To provide better care, an efficient, standardized, and scalable method is urgently needed to optimize the time-consuming and labor-intensive interpretation process by renal pathologists. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approach to automatically detect and classify glomeruli with different stains in renal pathology images. In the glomerulus detection stage, this paper proposes a flattened Xception with a feature pyramid network (FX-FPN). The FX-FPN is employed as a backbone in the framework of faster region-based CNN to improve glomerulus detection performance. In the classification stage, this paper considers classifications of five glomerulus morphologies using a flattened Xception classifier. To endow the classifier with higher discriminability, this paper proposes a generative data augmentation approach for patch-based glomerulus morphology augmentation. New glomerulus patches of different morphologies are generated for data augmentation through the cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN). The single detection model shows the F1 score up to 0.9524 in H&E and PAS stains. The classification result shows that the average sensitivity and specificity are 0.7077 and 0.9316, respectively, by using the flattened Xception with the original training data. The sensitivity and specificity increase to 0.7623 and 0.9443, respectively, by using the generative data augmentation. Comparisons with different deep CNN models show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approach.
