Whole slide images (WSIs) in digital histopathology are acquired at discrete magnification levels encoding complementary diagnostic information from global tissue architecture to fine-grained cellular morphology. Yet, deep learning models remain sensitive to scale variation.

AtlasPatch is a scalable, high‑throughput whole‑slide image preprocessing method that uses a foundation‑model‑based tissue detector operating at thumbnail resolution. By updating only 0.076% of the SAM2 model weights and leveraging a curated dataset of 30,000 thumbnail‑mask pairs, it generates accurate tissue masks and directly produces patch coordinates at the desired magnification, eliminating repeated patch‑level inference. The approach achieves 0.986 precision, is up to 16× faster than existing deep‑learning methods, and maintains downstream multiple‑instance learning performance across six slide‑level classification tasks.

The study evaluates four deep‑learning segmentation architectures—Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN—paired with six pre‑trained encoders to predict COVID‑19 lesions in CT images. Experiments on three COVID‑19 CT datasets show high accuracy, achieving a maximum binary F1‑score of 98% and multi‑class F1‑scores of 75% and 77%. The work aims to provide a standardized performance benchmark for medical image segmentation and a reference for other imaging scenarios.
