Description

Activities
Digitize and annotate chronic wasting disease (CWD) immunohistochemistry (IHC) slides. Design and train multi-tiered deep-learning algorithm using annotated CWD IHC slides from objective 1. Apply trained model from objective 2 to a separate subset of CWD IHC with blinded classification labels to assess sensitivity and specificity of the model: deliverables and expected outcomes: the anticipated impact of this project is to develop a unified CWD IHC image analysis algorithm which can be deployed across the nahln laboratory network for widespread application to CWD disease surveillance. This project has the potential to decrease turn around times for CWD IHC reporting while concurrently promoting diagnostic consistency across the entire nahln network.intended beneficiary(IES): the target audience for the outcomes/deliverables from this project are various state fish and W ildlife departments (waddl has contracts with 12 state agencies) and the nahln laboratories which perform confirmatory CWD IHC testing. The goal of this project is to develop an open-source image analysis algorithm which, once validated in collaboration with nvsl (beyond the scope of the current project) could be deployed to the entire nahln laboratory network to assist in CWD IHC surveillance activities.
