The team at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, TU Berlin, and the University of Oslo, have developed the system that, for the first time, integrates morphological, molecular, and histological data in a single analysis. The system also provides a clarification of the AI decision process in the form of heatmaps. The heatmaps show which visual information influenced the AI decision process and to what extent, which enables doctors to understand and assess the plausibility of the results – representing an essential step forward for the future use of AI systems in hospitals. The research has been published in Nature Machine Intelligence. The molecular characterisation of tumour tissue samples is becoming increasingly important for cancer treatment, with studies being conducted to determine changes to DNA as well as the gene and protein expression in the samples.
