| Abstract | Background: The deterministic deep learning models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in various medical image analysis tasks, including nuclei segmentation from histopathology images. The deterministic models focus on improving the model prediction accuracy without assessing the confidence in the predictions. Methods: We propose a semantic segmentation model using Bayesian representation to segment nuclei from the histopathology images and to further quantify the epistemic uncertainty. We employ Bayesian approximation with Monte-Carlo (MC) dropout during the inference time to estimate the model's prediction uncertainty. Results: We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach on the PanNuke dataset, which consists of 312 visual fields from 19 organ types. We compare the nuclei segmentation accuracy of our approach with that of a fully convolutional neural network, U-Net, SegNet, and the state-of-the-art Hover-net. We use F1-score and intersection over union (IoU) as the evaluation metrics. The proposed approach achieves a mean F1-score of 0.893 ± 0.008 and an IoU value of 0.868 ± 0.003 on the test set of the PanNuke dataset. These results outperform the Hover-net, which has a mean F1-score of 0.871 ± 0.010 and an IoU value of 0.840 ± 0.032. Conclusions: The proposed approach, which incorporates Bayesian representation and Monte-Carlo dropout, demonstrates superior performance in segmenting nuclei from histopathology images compared to existing models such as U-Net, SegNet, and Hover-net. By considering the epistemic uncertainty, our model provides a more reliable estimation of the prediction confidence. These findings highlight the potential of Bayesian deep learning for improving medical image analysis tasks and can contribute to the development of more accurate and reliable computer-aided diagnostic systems. |
