Simple Summary: Performing a mitosis count (MC) is essential in grading canine Soft Tissue Sarcoma (cSTS) and canine Perivascular Wall Tumours (cPWTs), although it is subject to inter- and intra-observer variability. To enhance standardisation, an artificial intelligence mitosis detection approach was investigated. A two-step annotation process was utilised with a pre-trained Faster R-CNN model, refined through veterinary pathologists' reviews of false positives, and subsequently optimised using an F1-score thresholding method to maximise accuracy measures. The study achieved a best F1-score of 0.75, demonstrating competitiveness in the field of canine mitosis detection. Performing a mitosis count (MC) is the diagnostic task of histologically grading canine Soft Tissue Sarcoma (cSTS). However, mitosis count is subject to inter- and intra-observer variability. Deep learning models can offer a standardisation in the process of MC used to histologically grade canine Soft Tissue Sarcomas. Subsequently, the focus of this study was mitosis detection in canine Perivascular Wall Tumours (cPWTs). Generating mitosis annotations is a long and arduous process open to inter-observer variability. Therefore, by keeping pathologists in the loop, a two-step annotation process was performed where a pre-trained Faster R-CNN model was trained on initial annotations provided by veterinary pathologists. The pathologists reviewed the output false positive mitosis candidates and determined whether these were overlooked candidates, thus updating the dataset. Faster R-CNN was then trained on this updated dataset. An optimal decision threshold was applied to maximise the F1-score predetermined using the validation set and produced our best F1-score of 0.75, which is competitive with the state of the art in the canine mitosis domain.
