SharpViSu: integrated analysis and segmentation of super-resolution microscopy data.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

We introduce SharpViSu, an interactive open-source software with a graphical user interface, which allows performing processing steps for localization data in an integrated manner. This includes common features and new tools such as correction of chromatic aberrations, drift correction based on iterative cross-correlation calculations, selection of localization events, reconstruction of 2D and 3D datasets in different representations, estimation of resolution by Fourier ring correlation, clustering analysis based on Voronoi diagrams and Ripley's functions. SharpViSu is optimized to work with eventlist tables exported from most popular localization software. We show applications of these on single and double-labelled super-resolution data.

Availability and implementation

SharpViSu is available as open source code and as compiled stand-alone application under https://github.com/andronovl/SharpViSu

Project description:BackgroundAutomated segmentation of nuclei in microscopic images has been conducted to enhance throughput in pathological diagnostics and biological research. Segmentation accuracy and speed has been significantly enhanced with the advent of convolutional neural networks. A barrier in the broad application of neural networks to nuclei segmentation is the necessity to train the network using a set of application specific images and image labels. Previous works have attempted to create broadly trained networks for universal nuclei segmentation; however, such networks do not work on all imaging modalities, and best results are still commonly found when the network is retrained on user specific data. Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) based super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has opened a new avenue to image nuclear architecture at nanoscale resolutions. Due to the large size and discontinuous features typical of super-resolution images, automatic nuclei segmentation can be difficult. In this study, we apply commonly used networks (Mask R-CNN and UNet architectures) towards the task of segmenting super-resolution images of nuclei. First, we assess whether networks broadly trained on conventional fluorescence microscopy datasets can accurately segment super-resolution images. Then, we compare the resultant segmentations with results obtained using networks trained directly on our super-resolution data. We next attempt to optimize and compare segmentation accuracy using three different neural network architectures.ResultsResults indicate that super-resolution images are not broadly compatible with neural networks trained on conventional bright-field or fluorescence microscopy images. When the networks were trained on super-resolution data, however, we attained nuclei segmentation accuracies (F1-Score) in excess of 0.8, comparable to past results found when conducting nuclei segmentation on conventional fluorescence microscopy images. Overall, we achieved the best results utilizing the Mask R-CNN architecture.ConclusionsWe found that convolutional neural networks are powerful tools capable of accurately and quickly segmenting localization-based super-resolution microscopy images of nuclei. While broadly trained and widely applicable segmentation algorithms are desirable for quick use with minimal input, optimal results are still found when the network is both trained and tested on visually similar images. We provide a set of Colab notebooks to disseminate the software into the broad scientific community ( https://github.com/YangLiuLab/Super-Resolution-Nuclei-Segmentation ).
