Abstract

Purpose

Real-time assessment of surgical margins is critical for favorable outcomes in cancer patients. The iKnife is a mass spectrometry device that has demonstrated potential for margin detection in cancer surgery. Previous studies have shown that using deep learning on iKnife data can facilitate real-time tissue characterization. However, none of the existing literature on the iKnife facilitate the use of publicly available, state-of-the-art pretrained networks or datasets that have been used in computer vision and other domains.

Methods

In a new framework we call ImSpect, we convert 1D iKnife data, captured during basal cell carcinoma (BCC) surgery, into 2D images in order to capitalize on state-of-the-art image classification networks. We also use self-supervision to leverage large amounts of unlabeled, intraoperative data to accommodate the data requirements of these networks.

Results

Through extensive ablation studies, we show that we can surpass previous benchmarks of margin evaluation in BCC surgery using iKnife data, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 81%. We also depict the attention maps of the developed DL models to evaluate the biological relevance of the embedding space

Conclusions

We propose a new method for characterizing tissue at the surgical margins, using mass spectrometry data from cancer surgery.
