### (Brain) Common Brain Tumors and Surrounding Tissue Elements

This model can additionally be run on our [pathology reports platform](https://www.pathologyreports.ai/marketplace/browse/a3212536-943b-4fca-a957-a9d42c19e7b5)

### Introduction

This H&E brain tumor classifier was developed using transfer learning on a histology optimized version of the VGG19 CNN [(DOI: 10.1038/s42256-019-0068-6)](https://doi.org/10.1038/s42256-019-0068-6) and trained to recognize the four most common brain tumor types and other surrounding tissue elements.

H&E-stained images patches (dimensions: 1024 x 1024 px) and annotations were taken from previous publicly available datasets (PMID: 35156037). Validation testing was carried out on non-overlapping cases from TCGA.
