Cell projection plots: a novel visualization of bone marrow aspirate cytology
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Deep models for cell detection have demonstrated utility in bone marrow cytology, showing impressive results in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency. However, these models have yet to be implemented in the clinical diagnostic workflow. Additionally, the metrics used to evaluate cell detection models are not necessarily aligned with clinical goals and targets. In order to address these issues, we introduce cell projection plots (CPPs), which are novel, automatically generated visual summaries of bone marrow aspirate specimens. CPPs provide a compact summary of bone marrow aspirate cytology, and encompass relevant biological patterns such as neutrophil maturation. To gauge clinical relevance, CPPs were shown to three hematopathologists, who decided whether shown diagnostic synopses matched with generated CPPs. Pathologists were able to match CPPs to the correct synopsis with 85% accuracy. Our finding suggests CPPs can compactly represent clinically relevant information from bone marrow aspirate specimens, and may be used to efficiently summarize bone marrow cytology to pathologists. CPP could be a step toward human-centered implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in hematopathology, and a basis for a diagnostic support tool for digital pathology workflows.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
