QuST: QuPath Extension for Integrative Whole Slide Image and Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis

Abstract: The integration of AI in digital pathology, particularly in whole slide image (WSI) and spatial transcriptomics (ST) analysis, holds immense potential for enhancing our understanding of diseases. Despite challenges such as training pattern preparation and resolution disparities, the convergence of these technologies can unlock new insights. We introduce QuST, a tool that bridges the gap between WSI and ST, underscoring the transformative power of this integrated approach in disease biology.
