Intended Use

Software to assist pathologists in detecting foci suspicious for cancer in scanned whole slide images of prostate needle biopsies stained with hematoxylin and eosin

Technology

Deep learning based software analyzing digitized whole slide images from Philips Ultra Fast Scanner. Outputs binary classification and localizes a single coordinate with highest likelihood of cancer for pathologist review. Works as adjunct and integrates with Paige FullFocus viewing software.

Performance

Performance validated with large datasets (728 WSIs cancer and benign cases), showing sensitivity ~94.5% and specificity ~94.0%. Precision studies showed high reproducibility across scanners and operators. Clinical study with 16 pathologists showed improved sensitivity by 7.3% using the software assistance, with minimal specificity change. Risk mitigation includes careful labeling, software validation, and adjunct use only.
