研究目的
To develop an automated myelin detection and quantification method using image analysis and machine learning techniques to facilitate drug screening for neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis.
研究成果
Deep learning, specifically the LeNet-based DeepMQ method, achieves high accuracy (93.38%) in myelin detection and quantification, significantly reducing the time required compared to manual methods. This approach provides a novel and efficient way to automate the analysis of biological structures like myelin, with potential applications in drug screening and neurological research. Future work should focus on increasing training samples and customizing the network for better performance.
研究不足
The number of training samples is limited (orders of magnitude less than the parameter space of the CNN), which may lead to underfitting. The method relies on manual curation for ground truth, which is time-consuming. The study does not customize the network architecture for myelin quantification, and false positives from overlaps are not fully addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a machine learning-based approach for myelin quantification, involving feature extraction from 3D confocal microscope images and classification using SVM, Decision Tree, and deep learning (LeNet) methods. The rationale is to automate the process and improve accuracy over previous methods.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The data consists of fluorescence microscope images of mouse stem cell-derived oligodendrocytes and neurons, acquired on a Zeiss LSM confocal microscope. Images have three channels (red for oligodendrocytes, green for neurons, blue for nuclei) and multiple z-sections. Ground truth data was curated from images classified by the CEM software.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM), computer with Intel i7 6700 processor, 32 GB RAM, Asus Geforce GTX1080TI graphics card, 1 TB HDD, and software including ImageJ and Caffe framework for LeNet implementation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Feature extraction involves mapping 26-neighbors of each voxel to a 2D feature image (9x9 pixels), which is digitally magnified to 27x27 pixels. These feature images are classified using SVM, DT, and LeNet. Training and testing are performed with specified datasets (positive and negative samples).
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Classification accuracy is evaluated using metrics such as training and test accuracy. Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimization is used for LeNet training. Results are compared across different classifiers.
