Finn Pathologists is introducing an AI-assisted Ki-67 scoring system to help predict the behaviour of canine mast cell tumours and offer more accurate prognostic evaluation.

Ki-67 is a proliferation marker used for assessing tumour aggressiveness, however the traditional method of assessing Ki-67 scores involves manually counting the proliferating cells, which is subjective, time-consuming and prone to variability.

Finn says its new AI-assisted Ki-67 scoring test represents a significant advancement in veterinary diagnostic oncopathology.

The AI algorithm analyses Ki-67 labelling across the entire section of tumour.

Positively labelled cells are highlighted, scores are calculated, and the results are validated by a pathologist before reporting.

This more automated analysis enables the evaluation of large volumes of histological data, ensuring consistent and reliable prognostic assessments.

Finn says it also removes the subjectivity and variability associated with identifying areas of highest cell proliferation, which is a crucial aspect of tumour scoring.
