Stable distance regression via spatial-frequency state space model for robot-assisted endomicroscopy.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a noninvasive technique that enables the direct visualization of tissue at a microscopic level in real time. One of the main challenges in using pCLE is maintaining the probe within a worki...

Multimodal imaging platform for enhanced tumor resection in neurosurgery: integrating hyperspectral and pCLE technologies.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This work presents a novel multimodal imaging platform that integrates hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) for improved brain tumor identification during neurosurgery. By combining these two modal...

A lightweight PCT-Net for segmenting neural fibers in low-quality CCM images.

Computers in biology and medicine
In this paper, we propose a lightweight Position Channel Transformer Network (PCT-Net) for segmenting slender neural fibers in low-quality corneal confocal microscopy images with speckle noise and uneven lighting. Three modules including the channel ...

Artificial intelligence to enhance the diagnosis of ocular surface squamous neoplasia.

Scientific reports
To provide an artificial intelligence (AI) method using in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) to differentiate ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) from other lesions and compare the performance of well-known AI-related solutions. A dataset of 2,774...

Artificial intelligence-enabled lipid droplets quantification: Comparative analysis of NIS-elements Segment.ai and ZeroCostDL4Mic StarDist networks.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that are present in almost all cell types, with a particularly high prevalence in adipocytes. The phenotype of LDs in these cells reflects their maturity, metabolic activity and function. Although LDs quant...

Protocol for AI-based segmentation and quantification of interstitial cells of Cajal in murine gastric muscle.

STAR protocols
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), pacemaker and neuromodulator cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, play an important role in GI motility. However, quantifying ICCs is challenging due to their mixed morphologies. Here, we present a protocol fo...

CAM/TMA-DPH as a promising alternative to SYTO9/PI for cell viability assessment in bacterial biofilms.

Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
INTRODUCTION: Accurately assessing biofilm viability is essential for evaluating both biofilm formation and the efficacy of antibacterial treatments. Traditional SYTO9 and propidium iodide (PI) live/dead staining in biofilm viability assays often ace...

Convolutional neural networks for accurate real-time diagnosis of oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma using high-resolution in vivo confocal microscopy.

Scientific reports
Oral cancer detection is based on biopsy histopathology, however with digital microscopy imaging technology there is real potential for rapid multi-site imaging and simultaneous diagnostic analysis. Fifty-nine patients with oral mucosal abnormalities...

Deep learning-based aberration compensation improves contrast and resolution in fluorescence microscopy.

Nature communications
Optical aberrations hinder fluorescence microscopy of thick samples, reducing image signal, contrast, and resolution. Here we introduce a deep learning-based strategy for aberration compensation, improving image quality without slowing image acquisit...

Unsupervised inter-domain transformation for virtually stained high-resolution mid-infrared photoacoustic microscopy using explainable deep learning.

Nature communications
Mid-infrared photoacoustic microscopy can capture biochemical information without staining. However, the long mid-infrared optical wavelengths make the spatial resolution of photoacoustic microscopy significantly poorer than that of conventional conf...
