Eliminating tissue-fold artifacts in histopathological whole-slide images for improved image-based prediction of cancer grade

Background: Analysis of tissue biopsy whole-slide images (WSIs) depends on effective detection and elimination of image artifacts. We present a novel method to detect tissue-fold artifacts in histopathological WSIs. We also study the effect of tissue folds on image features and prediction models. Ma...
