Abstract
Several artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been developed for glomerular pathology analysis in clinical settings. However, the application of AI systems in nonclinical fields remains limited. In this study, we trained a convolutional neural network model, which is an AI algorithm, to classify the severity of Tensin 2 (TNS2)-deficient nephropathy into seven categories. A dataset consisting of 803 glomerular images was generated from kidney sections of TNS2-deficient and wild-type mice. Manual evaluations of the images were conducted to assess their glomerular injury scores. The trained AI achieved approximately 70% accuracy in predicting the glomerular injury score for TNS2-deficient nephropathy. However, the AI achieved approximately 100% accuracy when considering predictions within one score of the true label as correct. The AI's predicted mean score closely matched the true mean score. In conclusion, while the AI model may not replace human judgment entirely, it can serve as a reliable second assessor in scoring glomerular injury, offering potential benefits in enhancing the accuracy and objectivity of such assessments.
