Abstract

In renal transplantation pathology, the Banff grading system is used for diagnosis. We perform a case study on the detection of immune cells in tubules, with the goal of automating part of this grading. We propose a two-step approach, in which we first perform a structure segmentation and subsequently an immune cell detection. We used a dataset of renal allograft biopsies from the Radboud University Medical Centre, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Our modified U-net reached a Dice score of 0.85 on the structure segmentation task. The F1-score of the immune cell detection was 0.33.
