Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for receiving one or more digital images associated with a tissue specimen, detecting one or more image regions from a background of the one or more digital images, determining a prediction, using a machine learning system, of whether at least one first image region of the one or more image regions comprises at least one external contaminant, the machine learning system having been trained using a plurality of training images to predict a presence of external contaminants and/or a location of any external contaminants present in the tissue specimen, and determining, based on the prediction of whether a first image region comprises an external contaminant, whether to process the image region using an processing algorithm.
