MamoCLIP: A Strong Contrastive Baseline for Full-Field Digital Mammography Analysis

Shrivastava A, Ghosh S, Gichoya JW, et al.

International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI)

MamoCLIP

We present MamoCLIP, a federated contrastive learning framework for mammography analysis that leverages multi-institutional data without centralizing patient records. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on EMBED v2, demonstrating robust cross-site generalization for breast density and lesion classification.

APIC: AI-Based Pathology Image Classifier for Treatment Benefit Prediction in Prostate Cancer

Bhatt D, Shrivastava A, Bhargava R, Gichoya JW, et al.

Journal of Clinical Oncology: Clinical Cancer Informatics

APIC

APIC extracts tumor-immune interaction features from standard H&E pathology slides to predict treatment benefit in prostate cancer patients. Validated on CHAARTED and STAMPEDE clinical trial datasets, APIC provides actionable prognostic stratification without the cost burden of molecular assays.

HistoQC: An Open-Source Quality Control Tool for Digital Pathology Slides

Janowczyk A, Zuo R, Gilmore H, Feldman M, Madabhushi A

JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics

HistoQC

HistoQC provides automated quality assessment for whole-slide pathology images, detecting artifacts such as blur, fold, bubbles, and pen marks. With thousands of downloads, it has become the standard tool for preprocessing digital pathology slides in computational pathology pipelines.

F-SYN: Fourier-Based Spatial Normalization for Stain Standardization in Digital Pathology

Shrivastava A, Gichoya JW, Bhargava R, et al.

Medical Image Analysis

F-SYN

Stain variability across institutions is a major challenge in computational pathology. F-SYN uses Fourier-domain normalization to harmonize pathology slides without introducing GAN-related artifacts, achieving superior structural preservation compared to deep learning-based stain transfer methods.

MOSCARD: Causal Reasoning for Multimodal Opportunistic Screening in Cardiovascular Disease

Gichoya JW, et al.

International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention (MICCAI)

MOSCARD

MOSCARD introduces a causal de-confounding framework for multimodal opportunistic screening, addressing spurious correlations that arise when fusing imaging with structured clinical data. The method demonstrates improved calibration and fairness across demographic subgroups.

Prostate Biological Age Estimation Using MRI Radiomics Across Diverse Populations

Johnson R, Bhatt D, Gichoya JW, et al.

Radiology: Artificial Intelligence

MQUALProstateNet

We develop and validate a radiomics-based model for estimating prostate biological age from standard biparametric MRI, derived from the VA dataset of 387 patients and validated across Mayo Clinic biobank data. Biological age discordance is associated with biochemical recurrence after definitive therapy.

Systematic Review: Multimodal Data Fusion for Breast Cancer Prognosis Prediction

Chen L, Gichoya JW, Banerjee I, et al.

Journal of Biomedical Informatics

A comprehensive PRISMA-compliant systematic review of 87 studies examining multimodal fusion approaches for breast cancer prognosis. We identify key methodological gaps in handling missing modalities, lack of diverse cohort validation, and limited clinical interpretability — gaps that MEFINDER directly addresses.

NLP-Based Recurrence Labeling for Breast Cancer Outcomes from Clinical Notes

Banerjee I, Gichoya JW, Shrivastava A, et al.

AMIA Annual Symposium

We present a scalable NLP toolkit for extracting ER-positive breast cancer recurrence labels from clinical notes in EMBED v2 (260,815 patients). The toolkit achieves 91% F1 score against manually annotated gold labels and enables large-scale outcome curation without manual chart review.
