Abstract
Histopathological examination is one of the important methods in clinical pathology diagnosis, traditionally involving the observation and analysis of stained tissue slices under a microscope. However, the staining process for tissue slices is typically time-consuming and resource-intensive. Therefore, with the advancement of deep learning, virtual staining technique has been proposed to address this issue. This technique aims to achieve rapid pathological diagnosis by bypassing the conventional chemical staining process. The implementation of virtual staining often relies on generative adversarial network trained on non-paired data. However, due to the lack of effective constraint information, the network often fails to achieve accurate virtual staining. Thus, our study proposes a virtual staining paradigm guided by Mueller matrix polarization information to address this issue. By introducing additional polarization information, the model can effectively learn the mapping relationship between different stained images to achieve accurate staining effects. In this study, we use CycleGAN as an example to analyze the shortcomings of generative adversarial learning based on non-paired data. Additionally, by studying the transformation between H&E-stained images and Masson trichrome (MT) stained images, we propose a polarization structure information guided generative adversarial network (PSIG-GAN). Experimental results demonstrate that by incorporating polarization information into the generative network, the model can effectively produce highly accurate virtual stained images.
