Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological malignancy; accurate and objective segmentation of adnexal masses and functional ovaries in ultrasound (US) remains challenging due to operator variability and morphological complexity. We present OvAi Focus (SynDiag s.r.l., Italy), a stand-alone AI software medical device that performs multi-class semantic segmentation of functional ovaries and adnexal masses, distinguishing cystic from solid components. The system was trained and independently validated on a multicenter dataset of 1,081 adult women from 6 centers across Italy and Israel. Segmentation achieved DICE scores of 0.87 (complete lesion), 0.85 (cystic), 0.68 (solid), and 0.62 (functional ovary), in line with or superior to state-of-the-art approaches across heterogeneous acquisition settings.

Slide-Level Active Learning Reduces Annotation Burden in H&E images

Mahsa Vali, Zhilong Weng, Noémie Moreaua, Yuri Tolkach, Katarzyna Bozek

Deep learning-based segmentation of histopathology whole-slide images (WSIs) requires large amounts of pixel-level annotations, which are costly and time-consuming to obtain. Active learning (AL) has been proposed to reduce this effort, but existing methods exhibit three key limi…
