SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO PROCESS ELECTRONIC IMAGES TO SELECTIVELY HIDE STRUCTURES AND ARTIFACTS FOR DIGITAL PATHOLOGY IMAGE REVIEW

A computer-implemented method for processing digital pathology images, the method including receiving a plurality of digital pathology images of at least one pathology specimen, the pathology specimen being associated with a patient. The method may further include determining, using a machine learning system, whether artifacts or objects of interest are present on the digital pathology images. Once the machine learning system has determined that an artifact or object of interest is present, the system may determine one or more regions on the digital pathology images that contain artifacts or objects of interest. Once the system determines the regions on the digital pathology images that contain artifacts or objects of interest, the system may use a machine learning system to inpaint or suppress the region and output the digital pathology images with the artifacts or objects of interest inpainted or suppressed.
