Details

The recent surge of foundation models in computer vision and natural language processing opens up perspectives in utilizing multi-modal clinical data to train large models with strong generalizability. Yet pathological image datasets often lack biomedical text annotation and enrichment. Guiding data-efficient image diagnosis from the use of biomedical text knowledge becomes a substantial interest. In this paper, we propose to Connect Image and Text Embeddings (CITE) to enhance pathological image classification. CITE injects text insights gained from language models pre-trained with a broad range of biomedical texts, leading to adapt foundation models towards pathological image understanding. Through extensive experiments on the PatchGastric stomach tumor pathological image dataset, we demonstrate that CITE achieves leading performance compared with various baselines especially when training data is scarce. CITE offers insights into leveraging in-domain text knowledge to reinforce data-efficient pathological image classification.

An overview of CITE:

Dataset

The PatchGastric dataset includes histopathological image patches extracted from H&E stained whole slide images (WSI) of stomach adenocarcinoma endoscopic biopsy specimens. The dataset contains 9 subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma WSIs. We choose 3 major subtypes including “well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma”, “moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma”, and “poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma” to form a 3-class grading-like classification task with 179,285 patches of size 300x300 from 693 WSIs.

To prepare the PatchGastric dataset:

Download captions.csv and patches_captions.zip from PatchGastricADC22.
Put them in data/ and unzip the file.

🗃️ Materials

We provide a comprehensive overview of current open-source medical language models, vision foundation models, and vision-language models, illustrating their applicability to our approach (CITE). For BERT-based language models, you may directly replace model->head->text_encoder->model and model->neck->out_features with your preferred Huggingface🤗 model in the config file to run CITE.
