Area of Science:

Computational pathology
Artificial intelligence in diagnostics
Tumor classification

Background:

Thymoma classification is complex due to morphological diversity.
Accurate thymoma diagnosis is critical but challenging with current methods.
Existing approaches struggle with intricate tumor subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an AI-assisted diagnostic model for improved thymoma classification.
To enhance the accuracy and interpretability of thymoma diagnosis.
To create a transparent AI framework for clinical application.

Main Methods:

Applied a weakly supervised learning and divide-and-conquer multi-instance learning (MIL) approach.
Utilized an attention-based mechanism to generate decision-making heatmaps.
Integrated domain-specific pathological knowledge into the interpretability framework.

Main Results:

Achieved a classification AUC of 0.9172 on 222 thymoma slides.
Generated heatmaps visually confirmed morphological distinctions between subtypes.
Pathologist validation confirmed the alignment of heatmaps with clinical findings.

Conclusions:

The AI model significantly advances thymoma classification accuracy and interpretability.
The interpretable AI framework aids pathologists, reducing diagnostic burden.
This transparent AI tool has the potential to improve patient outcomes in clinical settings.
