Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied whether AI technologies improve throughput and recognition accuracy in tissue diagnosis using quantitative phase images. We obtained the result that deep neural network used for image resolution enhancement for general images is effective in improving the resolution of quantitative phase images. However, the improvement was marginal and further study is needed in terms of network models and data sets. We also tested breast tissue diagnoisis using multiple markers extracted from quantitative phase images with a support vector machine. A higher recognition rate can be achieved than by using a single marker. In addition, a detailed analysis was performed using principal component analysis to visualize the contribution of each marker.
