A deep learning-integrated micro-CT image analysis pipeline for quantifying rice lodging resistance-related traits.

Plant communications
Lodging is a common problem in rice, reducing its yield and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Rice architecture is a key aspect of its domestication and a major factor that limits its high productivity. The ideal rice culm structure, including major_...

Three-Dimensional Vessel Segmentation in Whole-Tissue and Whole-Block Imaging Using a Deep Neural Network: Proof-of-Concept Study.

The American journal of pathology
In the field of pathology, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) has become an attractive imaging modality because it enables full analysis of the three-dimensional characteristics of a tissue sample or organ in a noninvasive manner. However, because ...

Comprehensive evaluation of the combined extracts of Epimedii Folium and Ligustri Lucidi Fructus for PMOP in ovariectomized rats based on MLP-ANN methods.

Journal of ethnopharmacology
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Kidney deficiency is the main pathogenesis of osteoporosis based on the theory of "kidney governing bones" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Osteoporosis is a systemic disease; kidney deficiency influences the gro...

Deep learning-enabled multi-organ segmentation in whole-body mouse scans.

Nature communications
Whole-body imaging of mice is a key source of information for research. Organ segmentation is a prerequisite for quantitative analysis but is a tedious and error-prone task if done manually. Here, we present a deep learning solution called AIMOS that...

Automated classification of urinary stones based on microcomputed tomography images using convolutional neural network.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: The classification of urinary stones is important prior to treatment because the treatments depend on three types of urinary stones, i.e., calcium, uric acid, and mixture stones. We have developed an automatic approach for the classification...

Characterization of Spray Dried Particles Through Microstructural Imaging.

Journal of pharmaceutical sciences
Spray drying is commonly used to produce amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) to improve the bioperformance of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this study, imaging techniques such as focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and X-ray microc...

Automatization and improvement of μCT analysis for murine lung disease models using a deep learning approach.

Respiratory research
BACKGROUND: One of the main diagnostic tools for lung diseases in humans is computed tomography (CT). A miniaturized version, micro-CT (μCT) is utilized to examine small rodents including mice. However, fully automated threshold-based segmentation an...

Parametric investigation of the effects of load level on fatigue crack growth in trabecular bone based on artificial neural network computation.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This study reports the development of an artificial neural network computation model to predict the accumulation of crack density and crack length in cancellous bone under a cyclic load. The model was then applied to conduct a parametric investigatio...

Automating three-dimensional osteoarthritis histopathological grading of human osteochondral tissue using machine learning on contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography.

Osteoarthritis and cartilage
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) approach for automatic three-dimensional (3D) histopathological grading of osteochondral samples imaged with contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CEμCT).

Optimal path generation in scala tympani and path planning for robotic cochlear implant of perimodiolar electrode.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
In this study, a new idea of the optimal path generation method was proposed and a path planning strategy for robotic cochlear implant of perimodiolar electrode was designed. The centerline of scala tympani channel was taken as the optimal implant pa...
