DeepSTORM3D: dense 3D localization microscopy and PSF design by deep learning.

ABSTRACT: An outstanding challenge in single-molecule localization microscopy is the accurate and precise localization of individual point emitters in three dimensions in densely labeled samples. One established approach for three-dimensional single-molecule localization is point-spread-function (PSF) engineering, in which the PSF is engineered to vary distinctively with emitter depth using additional optical elements. However, images of dense emitters, which are desirable for improving temporal resolution, pose a challenge for algorithmic localization of engineered PSFs, due to lateral overlap of the emitter PSFs. Here we train a neural network to localize multiple emitters with densely overlapping Tetrapod PSFs over a large axial range. We then use the network to design the optimal PSF for the multi-emitter case. We demonstrate our approach experimentally with super-resolution reconstructions of mitochondria and volumetric imaging of fluorescently labeled telomeres in cells. Our approach, DeepSTORM3D, enables the study of biological processes in whole cells at timescales that are rarely explored in localization microscopy.

Project description:PurposeAccurate and rapid needle localization on 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is critical for MRI-guided percutaneous interventions. The current workflow requires manual needle localization on 3D MRI, which is time-consuming and cumbersome. Automatic methods using 2D deep learning networks for needle segmentation require manual image plane localization, while 3D networks are challenged by the need for sufficient training datasets. This work aimed to develop an automatic deep learning-based pipeline for accurate and rapid 3D needle localization on in vivo intra-procedural 3D MRI using a limited training dataset.MethodsThe proposed automatic pipeline adopted Shifted Window (Swin) Transformers and employed a coarse-to-fine segmentation strategy: (1) initial 3D needle feature segmentation with 3D Swin UNEt TRansfomer (UNETR); (2) generation of a 2D reformatted image containing the needle feature; (3) fine 2D needle feature segmentation with 2D Swin Transformer and calculation of 3D needle tip position and axis orientation. Pre-training and data augmentation were performed to improve network training. The pipeline was evaluated via cross-validation with 49 in vivo intra-procedural 3D MR images from preclinical pig experiments. The needle tip and axis localization errors were compared with human intra-reader variation using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, with p < 0.05 considered significant.ResultsThe average end-to-end computational time for the pipeline was 6 s per 3D volume. The median Dice scores of the 3D Swin UNETR and 2D Swin Transformer in the pipeline were 0.80 and 0.93, respectively. The median 3D needle tip and axis localization errors were 1.48 mm (1.09 pixels) and 0.98°, respectively. Needle tip localization errors were significantly smaller than human intra-reader variation (median 1.70 mm; p < 0.01).ConclusionThe proposed automatic pipeline achieved rapid pixel-level 3D needle localization on intra-procedural 3D MRI without requiring a large 3D training dataset and has the potential to assist MRI-guided percutaneous interventions.

Project description:Caveolae are plasma membrane invaginations whose formation requires caveolin-1 (Cav1), the adaptor protein polymerase I, and the transcript release factor (PTRF or CAVIN1). Caveolae have an important role in cell functioning, signaling, and disease. In the absence of CAVIN1/PTRF, Cav1 forms non-caveolar membrane domains called scaffolds. In this work, we train machine learning models to automatically distinguish between caveolae and scaffolds from single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) data. We apply machine learning algorithms to discriminate biological structures from SMLM data. Our work is the first that is leveraging machine learning approaches (including deep learning models) to automatically identifying biological structures from SMLM data. In particular, we develop and compare three binary classification methods to identify whether or not a given 3D cluster of Cav1 proteins is a caveolae. The first uses a random forest classifier applied to 28 hand-crafted/designed features, the second uses a convolutional neural net (CNN) applied to a projection of the point clouds onto three planes, and the third uses a PointNet model, a recent development that can directly take point clouds as its input. We validate our methods on a dataset of super-resolution microscopy images of PC3 prostate cancer cells labeled for Cav1. Specifically, we have images from two cell populations: 10 PC3 and 10 CAVIN1/PTRF-transfected PC3 cells (PC3-PTRF cells) that form caveolae. We obtained a balanced set of 1714 different cellular structures. Our results show that both the random forest on hand-designed features and the deep learning approach achieve high accuracy in distinguishing the intrinsic features of the caveolae and non-caveolae biological structures. More specifically, both random forest and deep CNN classifiers achieve classification accuracy reaching 94% on our test set, while the PointNet model only reached 83% accuracy. We also discuss the pros and cons of the different approaches.
