TIAToolbox as an end-to-end library for advanced tissue image analytics

Computational pathology has seen rapid growth, driven by advanced deep-learning algorithms. However, there's a lack of open-source software providing a generic end-to-end API for pathology image analysis. This paper presents TIAToolbox, a Python toolbox designed to make computational pathology accessible. TIAToolbox creates modular and configurable components for common sub-tasks (WSI data reading, patch extraction, stain normalization, model inference, visualization). The authors demonstrate its use in constructing a deep-learning pipeline and reimplementing state-of-the-art algorithms.
