Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for interpreting a whole-slide image of a tissue specimen. Such a method includes detecting biological entities in a region of interest independently at each magnification level in a whole-slide image. An entity graph is generated for each magnification level, the entity graph comprising nodes, representing respective biological entities detected at that magnification level, interconnected by edges representing interactions between entities. The method also includes, for each region of interest, generating a hierarchical graph, defining a hierarchy of the entity graphs for that region, in which nodes of different entity graphs are interconnected by hierarchical edges representing hierarchical relations between nodes of the entity graphs. The method further comprises supplying the hierarchical graph for the region to an AI system to produce result data corresponding to a medical evaluation of the tissue specimen represented thereby, and outputting the result data for the tissue specimen.
