Participants will review approved image tiles or whole-slide regions, annotate tissue and tumor regions according to the protocol, identify scanning/staining artifacts, and flag ambiguous areas for pathology adjudication.
Expected outputs include:
Curated digital pathology dataset.
Tumor-region annotations.
Pathologist-adjudicated labels.
Candidate detection/segmentation model.
Slide/patient-level evaluation.
Dice/IoU and AUROC-related analyses where relevant.
Manuscript, poster, certificates.

Participants will not be required to personally pay approved article-processing charges.
Memberships are reinvested to pay microscopIA staff (epidemiologists, engineers, data scientists) salaries and to cover the publication fees for the resulting manuscripts. This maintain our work neutral, financially self-sustainable, and without any existing conflict of interest to maintain rigor and integrity in evidence generation.
