Spectral organ fingerprints for intraoperative tissue classification with hyperspectral imaging

Visual discrimination of tissue during surgery can be challenging since different tissues appear similar to the human eye. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) removes this limitation by associating each pixel with high-dimensional spectral information. While previous work has shown its general potential to discriminate tissue, clinical translation has been limited due to the methods current lack of robustness and generalizability. Specifically, it had been unknown whether variability in spectral reflectance is primarily explained by tissue type rather than the recorded individual or specific acquisition conditions. The contribution of this work is threefold: (1) Based on an annotated medical HSI data set (9,059 images from 46 pigs), we present a tissue atlas featuring spectral fingerprints of 20 different porcine organs and tissue types. (2) Using the principle of mixed model analysis, we show that the greatest source of variability related to HSI images is the organ under observation. (3) We show that HSI-based fully-automatic tissue differentiation of 20 organ classes with deep neural networks is possible with high accuracy (> 95 %). We conclude from our study that automatic tissue discrimination based on HSI data is feasible and could thus aid in intraoperative decision making and pave the way for context-aware computer-assisted surgery systems and autonomous robotics.

Optimization of anastomotic technique and gastric conduit perfusion with hyperspectral imaging in an experimental model for minimally invasive esophagectomy

ObjectiveTo optimize anastomotic technique and gastric conduit perfusion with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) for total minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) with linear stapled anastomosis. Summary Background DataEsophagectomy is the mainstay of esophageal cancer treatment but anastomotic insufficiency related morbidity and mortality remain challenging for patient outcome. MethodsA live porcine model (n=50) for MIE was used with gastric conduit formation and linear stapled side-to-side esophagogastrostomy. Four main experimental groups differed in stapling length (3 vs. 6 cm) and anastomotic position on the conduit (cranial vs. caudal). Tissue oxygenation around the anastomotic site was evaluated using HSI and was validated with histopathology. ResultsThe tissue oxygenation ({Delta}StO2) after the anastomosis remained constant only for the short stapler in caudal position (-0.4{+/-} 4.4%, n.s.) while it dropped markedly in the other groups (short-cranial: -15.6{+/-} 11.5%, p=0.0002; long-cranial: -20.4{+/-} 7.6%, p=0.0126; long-caudal: -16.1{+/-} 9.4%, p<0.0001) Tissue samples from deoxygenated stomach as measured by HSI showed correspondent eosinophilic pre-necrotic changes in 35.7{+/-} 9.7% of the surface area. ConclusionsTissue oxygenation at the anastomotic site of the gastric conduit during MIE is influenced by stapling technique. Optimal oxygenation was achieved with a short stapler (3 cm) and sufficient distance of the anastomosis to the cranial end of the gastric conduit. HSI tissue deoxygenation corresponded to histopathologic necrotic tissue changes. These findings allow for optimization of gastric conduit perfusion and anastomotic technique in MIE.

Whole-cell segmentation of tissue images with human-level performance using large-scale data annotation and deep learning

Understanding the spatial organization of tissues is of critical importance for both basic and translational research. While recent advances in tissue imaging are opening an exciting new window into the biology of human tissues, interpreting the data that they create is a significant computational challenge. Cell segmentation, the task of uniquely identifying each cell in an image, remains a substantial barrier for tissue imaging, as existing approaches are inaccurate or require a substantial amount of manual curation to yield useful results. Here, we addressed the problem of cell segmentation in tissue imaging data through large-scale data annotation and deep learning. We constructed TissueNet, an image dataset containing >1 million paired whole-cell and nuclear annotations for tissue images from nine organs and six imaging platforms. We created Mesmer, a deep learning-enabled segmentation algorithm trained on TissueNet that performs nuclear and whole-cell segmentation in tissue imaging data. We demonstrated that Mesmer has better speed and accuracy than previous methods, generalizes to the full diversity of tissue types and imaging platforms in TissueNet, and achieves human-level performance for whole-cell segmentation. Mesmer enabled the automated extraction of key cellular features, such as subcellular localization of protein signal, which was challenging with previous approaches. We further showed that Mesmer could be adapted to harness cell lineage information present in highly multiplexed datasets. We used this enhanced version to quantify cell morphology changes during human gestation. All underlying code and models are released with permissive licenses as a community resource.

Accurate cell tracking and lineage construction in live-cell imaging experiments with deep learning

While live-cell imaging is a powerful approach to studying the dynamics of cellular systems, converting these imaging data into quantitative, single-cell records of cellular behavior has been a longstanding challenge. Deep learning methods have proven capable of performing cell segmentation--a critical task for analyzing live-cell imaging data--but their performance in cell tracking has been limited by a lack of dynamic datasets with temporally consistent single-cell labels. We bridge this gap through the integrated development of labeling and deep learning methodology. We present a new framework for scalable, human-in-the-loop labeling of live-cell imaging movies, which we use to label a large collection of movies of fluorescently labeled cell nuclei. We use these data to create a new deep-learning-based cell-tracking method that achieves state-of-the-art performance in cell tracking. We have made all of the data, code, and software publicly available with permissive open-source licensing through the DeepCell projects web portal https://deepcell.org.

DeepCell 2.0: Automated cloud deployment of deep learning models for large-scale cellular image analysis

Deep learning is transforming the analysis of biological images but applying these models to large datasets remains challenging. Here we describe the DeepCell Kiosk, cloud-native software that dynamically scales deep learning workflows to accommodate large imaging datasets. To demonstrate the scalability and affordability of this software, we identified cell nuclei in 106 1-megapixel images in ~5.5 h for ~$250, with a sub-$100 cost achievable depending on cluster configuration. The DeepCell Kiosk can be downloaded at https://github.com/vanvalenlab/kiosk-console; a persistent deployment is available at https://deepcell.org.
