Experimental results on a collection of patches of breast cancer images demonstrate how the designed processing pipeline performs properly regardless of the size, texture or any other colour-shape features typical of the malignant carcinomas considered in this study. The estimated segmentation accuracy and frequency-weighted intersection over union ( FWIoU ) were 95.62%, 92.52%, respectively. Additionally, a web-based platform which includes a slide-viewer and an annotation tool was developed. The automatic segmentation method proposed in this work was integrated into this platform and currently, it is being used as a decision-support tool by pathologists.}, publisher = {PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD}, keywords = {Breast cancer}, keywords = {Deep learning}, keywords = {H&E staining}, keywords = {Segmentation}, keywords = {Whole-Slide Imaging}, title = {Automatic segmentation of whole-slide H&E stained breast histopathology images using a deep convolutional neural network architecture}, doi = {10.1016/J.ESWA.2020.113387}, author = {Priego Torres, Blanca María and Sánchez Morillo, Daniel and Fernández Granero, Miguel Ángel and García-Rojo, Marcial}, }
