ABSTRACT
Ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) is a contagious lung tumour caused by the Jaagsiekte Sheep Retrovirus (JSRV). Histopathological diagnosis is the gold standard for OPA diagnosis. However, interpretation of traditional pathology images is complex and operator dependent. The mask regional convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) has emerged as a valuable tool in pathological diagnosis. This study utilized 54 typical OPA whole slide images (WSI) to extract 7167 typical lesion images containing OPA to construct a Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset for OPA pathological images. The dataset was categorized into training and test sets (82 ratio) for model training and validation. Mean average specificity (mASp) and average sensitivity (ASe) were used to evaluate model performance. Six WSI-level pathological images (three OPA and three non-OPA images), not included in the dataset, were used for anti-peeking model validation. A random selection of 500 images, not included in the dataset establishment, was used to compare the performance of the model with assessment by pathologists. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rate were evaluated. The model achieved a mASp of 0.573 and an ASe of 0.745, demonstrating effective lesion detection and alignment with expert annotation. In Anti-Peeking verification, the model showed good performance in locating OPA lesions and distinguished OPA from non-OPA pathological images. In the random 500-image diagnosis, the model achieved 92.8% accuracy, 100% sensitivity, and 88% specificity. The agreement rates between junior and senior pathologists were 100% and 96.5%, respectively. In conclusion, the Mask R-CNN-based OPA diagnostic model developed for OPA facilitates rapid and accurate diagnosis in practical applications.
