Fiji plugins for qualitative image annotations: routine analysis and application to image classification [version 2; peer review: 2 approved

ABSTRACT: Quantitative measurements and qualitative description of scientific images are both important to describe the complexity of digital image data. While various software solutions for quantitative measurements in images exist, there is a lack of simple tools for the qualitative description of images in common user-oriented image analysis software. To address this issue, we developed a set of Fiji plugins that facilitate the systematic manual annotation of images or image-regions. From a list of user-defined keywords, these plugins generate an easy-to-use graphical interface with buttons or checkboxes for the assignment of single or multiple pre-defined categories to full images or individual regions of interest. In addition to qualitative annotations, any quantitative measurement from the standard Fiji options can also be automatically reported. Besides the interactive user interface, keyboard shortcuts are available to speed-up the annotation process for larger datasets. The annotations are reported in a Fiji result table that can be exported as a pre-formatted csv file, for further analysis with common spreadsheet software or custom automated pipelines. To illustrate possible use case of the annotations, and facilitate the analysis of the generated annotations, we provide examples of such pipelines, including data-visualization solutions in Fiji and KNIME, as well as a complete workflow for training and application of a deep learning model for image classification in KNIME. Ultimately, the plugins enable standardized routine sample evaluation, classification, or ground-truth category annotation of any digital image data compatible with Fiji.

Andy's Algorithms: new automated digital image analysis pipelines for FIJI.

Project description:Quantification of cellular antigens and their interactions via antibody-based detection methods are widely used in scientific research. Accurate high-throughput quantitation of these assays using general image analysis software can be time consuming and challenging, particularly when attempted by users with limited image processing and analysis knowledge. To overcome this, we have designed Andy's Algorithms, a series of automated image analysis pipelines for FIJI, that permits rapid, accurate and reproducible batch-processing of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) immunohistochemistry, proximity ligation assays (PLAs) and other common assays. Andy's Algorithms incorporates a step-by-step tutorial and optimization pipeline to make batch image analysis simple for the untrained user and adaptable across laboratories. Andy's algorithms provide a simpler, faster, standardized work flow compared to existing programs, while offering equivalent performance and additional features, in a free to use open-source application of FIJI. Andy's Algorithms are available at GitHub, publicly accessed at https://github.com/andlaw1841/Andy-s-Algorithm .

Qualitative analysis of manual annotations of clinical text with SNOMED CT.

Project description:SNOMED CT provides about 300,000 codes with fine-grained concept definitions to support interoperability of health data. Coding clinical texts with medical terminologies it is not a trivial task and is prone to disagreements between coders. We conducted a qualitative analysis to identify sources of disagreements on an annotation experiment which used a subset of SNOMED CT with some restrictions. A corpus of 20 English clinical text fragments from diverse origins and languages was annotated independently by two domain medically trained annotators following a specific annotation guideline. By following this guideline, the annotators had to assign sets of SNOMED CT codes to noun phrases, together with concept and term coverage ratings. Then, the annotations were manually examined against a reference standard to determine sources of disagreements. Five categories were identified. In our results, the most frequent cause of inter-annotator disagreement was related to human issues. In several cases disagreements revealed gaps in the annotation guidelines and lack of training of annotators. The reminder issues can be influenced by some SNOMED CT features.

Classification and visualization based on derived image features: application to genetic syndromes.

Project description:Data transformations prior to analysis may be beneficial in classification tasks. In this article we investigate a set of such transformations on 2D graph-data derived from facial images and their effect on classification accuracy in a high-dimensional setting. These transformations are low-variance in the sense that each involves only a fixed small number of input features. We show that classification accuracy can be improved when penalized regression techniques are employed, as compared to a principal component analysis (PCA) pre-processing step. In our data example classification accuracy improves from 47% to 62% when switching from PCA to penalized regression. A second goal is to visualize the resulting classifiers. We develop importance plots highlighting the influence of coordinates in the original 2D space. Features used for classification are mapped to coordinates in the original images and combined into an importance measure for each pixel. These plots assist in assessing plausibility of classifiers, interpretation of classifiers, and determination of the relative importance of different features.

Evaluation of a semi-automated approach for FDG PET image analysis for routine clinical application in patients with multiple myeloma.

Project description:BackgroundFDG PET/CT is a tool for assessing response to therapy in various cancers, and may provide an earlier biomarker of clinical response. We developed a novel semi-automated approach for analyzing FDG PET/CT images in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) to standardize FDG PET application.MethodsPatients (n = 8) with relapsed/refractory MM from the Phase 2 study (NCT02899052) of venetoclax plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone underwent FDG PET/CT at baseline and up to two timepoints during treatment. Images were processed using an established automated segmentation algorithm, with the modification that a red marrow region in an unaffected lumbar vertebra was used to define background standardized uptake value normalized to lean body mass (SUL) threshold above which uptake was considered disease-specific uptake. This approach was compared to lesion segmentation, and to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria, including minimal residual disease (MRD).ResultsThe two FDG PET analysis techniques agreed on evaluation of patient-level SULpeak for 67% of scans. In the metabolic response assessment per PET Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST), the two techniques agreed in 75% of patients. Differences between techniques occurred in low-uptake lesions due to greater reader sensitivity to lesions with uptake marginally above background. PERCIST outcomes were generally in agreement with IMWC and MRD.ConclusionsThis semi-automated analysis was in high agreement with standard approaches for detecting response to MM therapy. This proof-of-concept study suggests that larger studies should be conducted to confirm how FDG PET analysis may aid early response detection in MM.

Whole-slide imaging and a Fiji-based image analysis workflow of immunohistochemistry staining of pancreatic islets

Project description:Quantification of cell populations in tissue sections is frequently examined in studies of human disease. However, traditional manual imaging of sections stained with immunohistochemistry is laborious, time-consuming, and often assesses fields of view rather than the whole tissue section. The analysis is usually manual or utilises expensive proprietary image analysis platforms. Whole-slide imaging allows rapid automated visualisation of entire tissue sections. This approach increases the quantum of data generated per slide, decreases user time compared to manual microscopy, and reduces selection bias. However, such large data sets mean that manual image analysis is no longer practicable, requiring an automated process. In the case of diabetes, the contribution of various pancreatic endocrine cell populations is often investigated in preclinical and clinical samples. We developed a two-part method to measure pancreatic endocrine cell mass, firstly describing imaging using an automated slide-scanner, and secondly, the analysis of the resulting large image data sets using the open-source software, Fiji, which is freely available to all researchers and has cross-platform compatibility. This protocol is highly versatile and may be applied either in full or in part to analysis of IHC images created using other imaging platforms and/or the analysis of other tissues and cell markers.

Vehicle image datasets for image classification.

Project description:Vehicle image recognition is a critical research area with diverse traffic management, surveillance, and autonomous driving systems applications. Accurately classifying and identifying vehicles from images play a crucial role in these domains. This work presents two vehicle image datasets: the vehicle type image dataset version 2 (VTID2) and the vehicle make image dataset (VMID). The VTID2 Dataset comprises 4,356 images of Thailand's five most used vehicle types, which enhances diversity and reduces the risk of overfitting problems. This expanded dataset offers a more extensive and varied collection for robust model training and evaluation. This dataset will be valuable for researchers focusing on vehicle image recognition tasks. With an emphasis on sedans, hatchbacks, pick-ups, SUVs, and other vehicles, the dataset allows for developing and evaluating algorithms that accurately classify different types of vehicles. The VMID Dataset contains 2,072 images of logos (called vehicle make) from eleven prominent vehicle brands in Thailand. The proposed dataset will facilitate the development of computer vision algorithms and the evaluation of learning algorithm model performance metrics. These two datasets provide valuable resources to the research community that will foster possible research advancements in vehicle recognition, vehicle logo detection or localization, and vehicle segmentation, contributing to the development of intelligent transportation systems.

Analysis of the Human Protein Atlas Image Classification competition.

Project description:Pinpointing subcellular protein localizations from microscopy images is easy to the trained eye, but challenging to automate. Based on the Human Protein Atlas image collection, we held a competition to identify deep learning solutions to solve this task. Challenges included training on highly imbalanced classes and predicting multiple labels per image. Over 3?months, 2,172 teams participated. Despite convergence on popular networks and training techniques, there was considerable variety among the solutions. Participants applied strategies for modifying neural networks and loss functions, augmenting data and using pretrained networks. The winning models far outperformed our previous effort at multi-label classification of protein localization patterns by ~20%. These models can be used as classifiers to annotate new images, feature extractors to measure pattern similarity or pretrained networks for a wide range of biological applications.

Mammographic quantitative image analysis and biologic image composition for breast lesion characterization and classification.

Project description:To investigate whether biologic image composition of mammographic lesions can improve upon existing mammographic quantitative image analysis (QIA) in estimating the probability of malignancy.The study population consisted of 45 breast lesions imaged with dual-energy mammography prior to breast biopsy with final diagnosis resulting in 10 invasive ductal carcinomas, 5 ductal carcinomain situ, 11 fibroadenomas, and 19 other benign diagnoses. Analysis was threefold: (1) The raw low-energy mammographic images were analyzed with an established in-house QIA method, "QIA alone," (2) the three-compartment breast (3CB) composition measure-derived from the dual-energy mammography-of water, lipid, and protein thickness were assessed, "3CB alone", and (3) information from QIA and 3CB was combined, "QIA + 3CB." Analysis was initiated from radiologist-indicated lesion centers and was otherwise fully automated. Steps of the QIA and 3CB methods were lesion segmentation, characterization, and subsequent classification for malignancy in leave-one-case-out cross-validation. Performance assessment included box plots, Bland-Altman plots, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis.The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions (invasive and DCIS) was 0.81 (standard error 0.07) for the "QIA alone" method, 0.72 (0.07) for "3CB alone" method, and 0.86 (0.04) for "QIA+3CB" combined. The difference in AUC was 0.043 between "QIA + 3CB" and "QIA alone" but failed to reach statistical significance (95% confidence interval [-0.17 to + 0.26]).In this pilot study analyzing the new 3CB imaging modality, knowledge of the composition of breast lesions and their periphery appeared additive in combination with existing mammographic QIA methods for the distinction between different benign and malignant lesion types.
