Lung Macrodissect AI is an AI-powered tool that quantifies tumor content and guides ROI selection to enhance macrodissection workflows and downstream molecular analysis in cases of non-small cell lung cancer.
Intended Use
Lung Macrodissect AI is not intended to be used as a diagnostic tool.
Inputs
H&E whole slide images from primary and metastatic NSCLC resections, excisions, and/or core needle biopsies
Key Outputs
- Tumor cell density heatmap
- Total cell count
- Tumor cell count
- Percent tumor content for whole slide image and dissection ROIs
Analytical Validation
Lung Macrodissect AI was validated on the Leica Aperio GT 450 (SVS format). Cellular level validation was performed on 9,374 annotations from both primary and metastatic NSCLC tissue previously unseen to the algorithm and sourced from an external site. The validation process focused on the classification of cells as either ‘tumor’ or ‘other’, with the ground truth established through the consensus of annotations provided by five independent pathologists.
Clinical Validation
Lung Macrodissect AI was validated on the Leica Aperio GT 450 (SVS format).
317 externally sourced primary and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer H&E images previously unseen by the algorithm were assessed for tumor content by five pathologists. After a four-week washout period, the five pathologists reviewed the same slides again, this time with the assistance of Lung Macrodissect AI. They had the option to agree with the algorithm’s analysis or provide their own tumor content estimations.
The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated using continuous tumor content data and Fleiss’ kappa was calculated after samples were dichotomized based on a 20% tumor content cut-off, a minimum requirement for most molecular tests. Both ICC and Fleiss’ kappa were measured before and after assistance from Lung Macrodissect AI.
Lung Macrodissect AI significantly increased the consistency and agreement of inter-pathologist tumor content reporting, demonstrating the algorithm’s ability to accurately quantify tumor content, standardize macrodissection workflows, and reduce the number of inadequately concentrated tests sent for downstream analysis.

Increase Quality
Lung Macrodissect AI reliably quantifies tumor content for downstream molecular analysis, ensuring the quality of downstream test results.
Streamline Workflows and Save Resources
With automated tumor content analysis, you can streamline your ROI selection process and save time.
Auditable Process
Create an auditable macrodissection workflow, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
Lung Macrodissect AI simplifies the macrodissection process. Pathologists need only use the intuitive annotation tools provided in HALO AP® to select areas for downstream analysis by following the easy-to-read heatmap. Tumor content results for annotated ROIs are updated in real time.

Macrodissection Reinvented
Lung Macrodissect AI enhances macrodissection workflows with precision and automation. H&E slides are scanned into HALO AP®, where Lung Macrodissect AI detects all tissue present on the slide, removing background glass and artifacts from the analysis. Benign epithelial regions are classified separately and their cell count is added to the tumor content results. Cells are then phenotyped as either ‘tumor’ or ‘other’ cells. A detailed tumor density heatmap is generated, which assists pathologists in creating precise ROI annotations for downstream macrodissection.

A Fully-Automated Lung Macrodissect AI Workflow
In addition to standardizing the evaluation of tumor content for traditional macrodissection workflows, Lung Macrodissect AI can be coupled with the Tissector automated macrodissection platform from our partner Xyall, creating an all-in-one solution that is auditable, precise, and more efficient than current methodologies. The result is a streamlined workflow that enhances accuracy and saves staff time and resources.
Macrodissect with Confidence
With a combined HALO Macrodissection Solutions and Xyall workflow, labs can create a detailed audit trail for improved accuracy and consistency, including pre- and post-dissection images for each case.
Benefits of an AI-Powered Workflow
By providing accurate and reliable tumor content quantification, Lung Macrodissect AI gives labs and research institutions the ability to create a high-throughput, intuitive workflow that saves valuable lab personnel time and bridges the gap between anatomic and molecular pathology.
