We present a new AI-based method for the quantification of liver fibrosis in tissue sections stained with Picro Sirius Red which highlights collagen. The method segments and quantifies collagen, a marker of the fibrotic response, through a deep learning model trained on 20 whole-slide images. The results show a Dice score > 90% compared to manual annotations, demonstrating its potential aid during diagnosis. Furthermore, our approach can be extended to other staining protocols.
