AIRA Matrix announces webinar series on AI applications in Reproductive Toxicology
Mumbai, Jan 20, 2021 – AIRA Matrix announces a webinar series on AI applications in Reproductive Toxicology. The first in the series, “Application of Artificial Intelligence for Spermatogenic Staging Assessment in Rodents” will be presented on Feb 11, 2021, in association with Dr. Dianne Creasy (Ph.D., DipRCPath (Tox), FRCPath). Dr. Creasy is a leading toxicologic pathologist and an expert in reproductive toxicology reporting.
Why AI-assisted Spermatogenic Staging assessment
In preclinical toxicology studies, a “stage-aware” histopathological evaluation of testes is recognized as the most sensitive method to detect effects on spermatogenesis and is at times a regulatory requirement. However, most pathologists find staging the testis both challenging and time-consuming.
We will be presenting the development and application of an automated method to identify the stages of the rat spermatogenic cycle in digital whole slide images of H&E-stained Wistar rat testes.
The algorithm identifies the spermatogenic stage of each tubule and aids the pathologist in the evaluation of the H&E stained testis in a stage-aware manner. In doing so, it negates the need for a special PAS stain. It also allows for the rapid calculation of stage frequencies.
