Popis: In this work, we describe a dataset suitable for analyzing the extent to which hematoxylin–eosin (HE)-stained tissue contains information about the expression of Ki67 in immunohistochemistry staining. The dataset provides images of corresponding pairs of HE and Ki67 stainings and is complemented by algorithms for computing the Ki67 index. We introduce a dataset of high-resolution histological images of testicular seminoma tissue. The dataset comprises digitized histology slides from 77 conventional testicular seminoma patients, obtained via surgical resection. For each patient, two physically adjacent tissue sections are stained: one with hematoxylin and eosin, and one with Ki67 immunohistochemistry staining. This results in a total of 154 high-resolution images. The images are provided in PNG format, facilitating ease of use for image analysis compared to the original scanner output formats. Each image contains enough tissue to generate thousands of non-overlapping 224 × 224 pixel patches. This shows the potential to generate more than 50,000 pairs of patches, one with HE staining and a corresponding Ki67 patch that depicts a very similar part of the tissue. Finally, we present the results of applying a ResNet neural network for the classification of HE patches into categories according to their Ki67 label.
