人工智能在肾脏病理诊断中的应用

Application of artificial intelligence in renal pathological diagnosis

随着计算机技术和互联网的高速发展,基于深度学习的人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)已经影响了病理学以及与其相关行业的工作模式。本文介绍了人工智能相关知识。由于目前肾脏病理数字切片资源有限,人工智能在肾脏组织病理学领域中的研究尚属起步阶段,但已经在肾小球数字化形态评价系统建立、预测慢性肾脏病预后方面做了很好的尝试。此外,还存在图像特征和临床资料的复杂性会影响AI诊断准确性、罕见肾脏疾病病例收集困难等情况。这些都是AI在肾脏病理诊断应用中所面临的问题,本文将逐一论述,并介绍可能的解决办法。

With the rapid development of computer technology and internet, artificial intelligence(AI) based on depth learning has affected the working mode of pathology and its related industries.This article introduced the knowledge of AI.At present, due to the limited resources of digital sections of renal pathology, the research of AI in renal histopathology is still in its infancy.Good attempts have been made to establish a digital glomerular morphological evaluation system and to predict the prognosis of chronic kidney disease.In addition, there are situations that the complexity of image features and clinical data will affect the accuracy of AI diagnosis, and that the cases collection of rare kidney diseases are difficult, etc.These are the problems faced by application of AI in the process of renal pathological diagnosis, which were discussed one by one together with their possible solutions.
