a Slide analysis workflow. b Representative slide identified by deep learning. The slide is first input into the segmentation network to extract the lymph node region and remove tissues such as fat and muscle outside the lymph node. The tissues in the lymph node region are then classified by the classification network to identify the tumor region. The area ratio of tumor metastatic lymph nodes (T/MLNs) is finally calculated based on the heatmaps.
