Frozen-to-Paraffin: Categorization of Histological Frozen Sections by the Aid of Paraffin Sections and Generative Adversarial Networks

In contrast to paraffin sections, frozen sections can be quickly generated during surgical interventions. This procedure allows surgeons wait for histological findings the intervention base intra-operative decisions on outcome of histology. However, compared quality is typically lower, leading a higher ratio miss-classification. this work, we investigated effect section type automated decision support approaches classification thyroid cancer. was enabled by data set consisting pairs individual patients. Moreover, investigated, whether frozen-to-paraffin translation could help optimize scores. Finally, propose specific augmentation strategy deal with small amount training and increase accuracy even further.
