Combining graph neural network and Mamba to capture local and global tissue spatial relationships in whole slide images

Flipboard

In computational pathology, extracting and representing spatial features from gigapixel whole slide images (WSIs) are fundamental tasks, but due to their large size, WSIs are typically segmented into smaller tiles. A critical aspect of analyzing WSIs is how information across tiles is aggregated to predict outcomes such as patient prognosis. We introduce a model that combines a message-passing graph neural network (GNN) with a state space model (Mamba) to capture both local and global spatial re
