Early detection of colon adenomatous polyps is pivotal in reducing colon cancer risk. In this context, accurately distinguishing between adenomatous polyp subtypes, especially tubular and tubulovillous, from hyperplastic variants is crucial. This study introduces a cutting-edge computer-aided diagnosis system optimized for this task. Our system employs advanced Supervised Contrastive learning to ensure precise classification of colon histopathology images. Significantly, we have integrated the Big Transfer model, which has gained prominence for its exemplary adaptability to visual tasks in medical imaging. Our novel approach discerns between in-class and out-of-class images, thereby elevating its discriminatory power for polyp subtypes. We validated our system using two datasets: a specially curated one and the publicly accessible UniToPatho dataset. The results reveal that our model markedly surpasses traditional deep convolutional neural networks, registering classification accuracies of 87.1% and 70.3% for the custom and UniToPatho datasets, respectively. Such results emphasize the transformative potential of our model in polyp classification endeavors.

Background and Objective: Early detection of colon adenomatous polyps is critically important because correct detection of it significantly reduces the potential of developing colon cancers in the future. The key challenge in the detection of adenomatous polyps is differentiating it from its visually similar counterpart, non-adenomatous tissues. Currently, it solely depends on the experience of the pathologist. To assist the pathologists, the objective of this work is to provide a novel non-knowledge-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for improved detection of adenomatous polyps on colon histopathology images. Methods: The domain shift problem arises when the train and test data are coming from different distributions of diverse settings and unequal color levels. This problem, which can be tackled by stain normalization techniques, restricts the machine learning models to attain higher classification accuracies. In this work, the proposed method integrates stain normalization techniques with ensemble of competitively accurate, scalable and robust variants of CNNs, ConvNexts. The improvement is empirically analyzed for five widely employed stain normalization techniques. The classification performance of the proposed method is evaluated on three datasets comprising more than 10k colon histopathology images. Results: The comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the stateof-the-art deep convolutional neural network based models by attaining 95% classification accuracy on the curated dataset, and 91.1% and 90% on EBHI and UniToPatho public datasets, respectively. Conclusions: These results show that the proposed method can accurately classify colon adenomatous polyps on histopathology images. It retains remarkable performance scores even for different datasets coming from different distributions. This indicates that the model has a notable generalization ability. (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
