Fully Automatic Calibration of Tumor-Growth Models Using a Single mpMRI Scan.

ABSTRACT: Our objective is the calibration of mathematical tumor growth models from a single multiparametric scan. The target problem is the analysis of preoperative Glioblastoma (GBM) scans. To this end, we present a fully automatic tumor-growth calibration methodology that integrates a single-species reaction-diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) model for tumor progression with multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) scans to robustly extract patient specific biomarkers i.e., estimates for (i) the tumor cell proliferation rate, (ii) the tumor cell migration rate, and (iii) the original, localized site(s) of tumor initiation. Our method is based on a sparse reconstruction algorithm for the tumor initial location (TIL). This problem is particularly challenging due to nonlinearity, ill-posedeness, and ill conditioning. We propose a coarse-to-fine multi-resolution continuation scheme with parameter decomposition to stabilize the inversion. We demonstrate robustness and practicality of our method by applying the proposed method to clinical data of 206 GBM patients. We analyze the extracted biomarkers and relate tumor origin with patient overall survival by mapping the former into a common atlas space. We present preliminary results that suggest improved accuracy for prediction of patient overall survival when a set of imaging features is augmented with estimated biophysical parameters. All extracted features, tumor initial positions, and biophysical growth parameters are made publicly available for further analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first fully automatic scheme that can handle multifocal tumors and can localize the TIL to a few millimeters.

Calibration of Multi-Parameter Models of Avascular Tumor Growth Using Time Resolved Microscopy Data.

Project description:Two of the central challenges of using mathematical models for predicting the spatiotemporal development of tumors is the lack of appropriate data to calibrate the parameters of the model, and quantitative characterization of the uncertainties in both the experimental data and the modeling process itself. We present a sequence of experiments, with increasing complexity, designed to systematically calibrate the rates of apoptosis, proliferation, and necrosis, as well as mobility, within a phase-field tumor growth model. The in vitro experiments characterize the proliferation and death of human liver carcinoma cells under different initial cell concentrations, nutrient availabilities, and treatment conditions. A Bayesian framework is employed to quantify the uncertainties in model parameters. The average difference between the calibration and the data, across all time points is between 11.54% and 14.04% for the apoptosis experiments, 7.33% and 23.30% for the proliferation experiments, and 8.12% and 31.55% for the necrosis experiments. The results indicate the proposed experiment-computational approach is generalizable and appropriate for step-by-step calibration of multi-parameter models, yielding accurate estimations of model parameters related to rates of proliferation, apoptosis, and necrosis.

Automatic calculation of myocardial external efficiency using a single <sup>11</sup>C-acetate PET scan.

Project description:BackgroundMyocardial external efficiency (MEE) is defined as the ratio of kinetic energy associated with cardiac work [forward cardiac output (FCO)*mean systemic pressure] and the chemical energy from oxygen consumed (MVO2) by the left ventricular mass (LVM). We developed a fully automated method for estimating MEE based on a single 11C-acetate PET scan without ECG-gating.Methods and resultsTen healthy controls, 34 patients with aortic valve stenosis (AVS), and 20 patients with mitral valve regurgitation (MVR) were recruited in a dual-center study. MVO2 was calculated using washout of 11C -acetate activity. FCO and LVM were calculated automatically using dynamic PET and parametric image formation. FCO and LVM were also obtained using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in all subjects. The correlation between MEEPET-CMR and MEEPET was high (r = 0.85, P < 0.001) without significant bias. MEEPET was 23.6 ± 4.2% for controls and was lowered in AVS (17.2 ± 4.3%, P < 0.001) and in MVR (18.0 ± 5.2%, P = 0.004). MEEPET was strongly associated with both NYHA class (P < 0.001) and the magnitude of valvular dysfunction (mean aortic gradient: P < 0.001, regurgitant fraction: P = 0.009).ConclusionA single 11C-acetate PET yields accurate and automated MEE results on different scanners. MEE might provide an unbiased measurement of the phenotypic response to valvular disease.

A Fully Automatic Estimation of Tear Meniscus Height Using Artificial Intelligence.

Project description:PurposeAccurate quantification measurement of tear meniscus is vital for the precise diagnosis of dry eye. In current clinical practice, the measurement of tear meniscus height (TMH) relies on doctors' manual operation. This study aims to propose a novel automatic artificial intelligence (AI) system to evaluate TMH.MethodsA total of 510 photographs obtained by the oculus camera were labeled. Three thousand and five hundred images were finally attained by data enhancement to train the neural network model parameters, and 60 were used to evaluate the model performance in segmenting the cornea and tear meniscus region. One hundred images were used to test generalization ability of the model. We modified a segmentation model of the cornea and the tear meniscus based on the UNet-like network. The output of the segmentation model is followed by a calculation module that calculates and reports the TMH.ResultsCompared with ground truth (GT) manually labeled by clinicians, our modified model achieved a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and Intersection over union (Iou) of 0.99/0.98 in the corneal segmentation task and 0.92/0.86 for the detection of tear meniscus on the validation set, respectively. On the test set, the TMH automatically measured by our AI system strongly correlates with the results manually calculated by the ophthalmologists.ConclusionsWe developed a fully automated and reliable AI system to obtain TMH. After large-scale clinical testing, our method could be used for dry eye screening in clinical practice.

Automatic Calibration of an Industrial RGB-D Camera Network Using Retroreflective Fiducial Markers.

Project description:This paper describes a non-invasive, automatic, and robust method for calibrating a scalable RGB-D sensor network based on retroreflective ArUco markers and the iterative closest point (ICP) scheme. We demonstrate the system by calibrating a sensor network comprised of six sensor nodes positioned in a relatively large industrial robot cell with an approximate size of 10 x 10 x 4 m . Here, the automatic calibration achieved an average Euclidean error of 3 c m at distances up to 9 . 45 m . To achieve robustness, we apply several innovative techniques: Firstly, we mitigate the ambiguity problem that occurs when detecting a marker at long range or low resolution by comparing the camera projection with depth data. Secondly, we use retroreflective fiducial markers in the RGB-D calibration for improved accuracy and detectability. Finally, the repeating ICP refinement uses an exact region of interest such that we employ the precise depth measurements of the retroreflective surfaces only. The complete calibration software and a recorded dataset are publically available and open source.

Clinical Evaluation of a Fully-automatic Segmentation Method for Longitudinal Brain Tumor Volumetry.

Project description:Information about the size of a tumor and its temporal evolution is needed for diagnosis as well as treatment of brain tumor patients. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of a fully-automatic segmentation method, called BraTumIA, for longitudinal brain tumor volumetry by comparing the automatically estimated volumes with ground truth data acquired via manual segmentation. Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging data of 14 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma encompassing 64 MR acquisitions, ranging from preoperative up to 12 month follow-up images, was analysed. Manual segmentation was performed by two human raters. Strong correlations (R = 0.83-0.96, p < 0.001) were observed between volumetric estimates of BraTumIA and of each of the human raters for the contrast-enhancing (CET) and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments (NCE-T2). A quantitative analysis of the inter-rater disagreement showed that the disagreement between BraTumIA and each of the human raters was comparable to the disagreement between the human raters. In summary, BraTumIA generated volumetric trend curves of contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments comparable to estimates of human raters. These findings suggest the potential of automated longitudinal tumor segmentation to substitute manual volumetric follow-up of contrast-enhancing and non-enhancing T2-hyperintense tumor compartments.

Highly Accurate and Fully Automatic 3D Head Pose Estimation and Eye Gaze Estimation Using RGB-3D Sensors and 3D Morphable Models.

Project description:This work addresses the problem of automatic head pose estimation and its application in 3D gaze estimation using low quality RGB-D sensors without any subject cooperation or manual intervention. The previous works on 3D head pose estimation using RGB-D sensors require either an offline step for supervised learning or 3D head model construction, which may require manual intervention or subject cooperation for complete head model reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a 3D pose estimator based on low quality depth data, which is not limited by any of the aforementioned steps. Instead, the proposed technique relies on modeling the subject's face in 3D rather than the complete head, which, in turn, relaxes all of the constraints in the previous works. The proposed method is robust, highly accurate and fully automatic. Moreover, it does not need any offline step. Unlike some of the previous works, the method only uses depth data for pose estimation. The experimental results on the Biwi head pose database confirm the efficiency of our algorithm in handling large pose variations and partial occlusion. We also evaluated the performance of our algorithm on IDIAP database for 3D head pose and eye gaze estimation.

Automatic labeling of molecular biomarkers of immunohistochemistry images using fully convolutional networks.

Project description:This paper addresses the problem of quantifying biomarkers in multi-stained tissues based on the color and spatial information of microscopy images of the tissue. A deep learning-based method that can automatically localize and quantify the regions expressing biomarker(s) in any selected area on a whole slide image is proposed. The deep learning network, which we refer to as Whole Image (WI)-Net, is a fully convolutional network whose input is the true RGB color image of a tissue and output is a map showing the locations of each biomarker. The WI-Net relies on a different network, Nuclei (N)-Net, which is a convolutional neural network that classifies each nucleus separately according to the biomarker(s) it expresses. In this study, images of immunohistochemistry (IHC)-stained slides were collected and used. Images of nuclei (4679 RGB images) were manually labeled based on the expressing biomarkers in each nucleus (as p16 positive, Ki-67 positive, p16 and Ki-67 positive, p16 and Ki-67 negative). The labeled nuclei images were used to train the N-Net (obtaining an accuracy of 92% in a test set). The trained N-Net was then extended to WI-Net that generated a map of all biomarkers in any selected sub-image of the whole slide image acquired by the scanner (instead of classifying every nucleus image). The results of our method compare well with the manual labeling by humans (average F-score of 0.96). In addition, we carried a layer-based immunohistochemical analysis of cervical epithelium, and showed that our method can be used by pathologists to differentiate between different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia by quantitatively assessing the percentage of proliferating cells in the different layers of HPV positive lesions.

Fully Automatic Volume Measurement of the Spleen at CT Using Deep Learning.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a fully automated algorithm for spleen segmentation and to assess the performance of this algorithm in a large dataset.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective study, a three-dimensional deep learning network was developed to segment the spleen on thorax-abdomen CT scans. Scans were extracted from patients undergoing oncologic treatment from 2014 to 2017. A total of 1100 scans from 1100 patients were used in this study, and 400 were selected for development of the algorithm. For testing, a dataset of 50 scans was annotated to assess the segmentation accuracy and was compared against the splenic index equation. In a qualitative observer experiment, an enriched set of 100 scan-pairs was used to evaluate whether the algorithm could aid a radiologist in assessing splenic volume change. The reference standard was set by the consensus of two other independent radiologists. A Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to test whether there was a performance difference between the algorithm and the independent observer.ResultsThe algorithm and the independent observer obtained comparable Dice scores (P = .834) on the test set of 50 scans of 0.962 and 0.964, respectively. The radiologist had an agreement with the reference standard in 81% (81 of 100) of the cases after a visual classification of volume change, which increased to 92% (92 of 100) when aided by the algorithm.ConclusionA segmentation method based on deep learning can accurately segment the spleen on CT scans and may help radiologists to detect abnormal splenic volumes and splenic volume changes.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.

A tutorial on calibration measurements and calibration models for clinical prediction models.

Project description:Our primary objective is to provide the clinical informatics community with an introductory tutorial on calibration measurements and calibration models for predictive models using existing R packages and custom implemented code in R on real and simulated data. Clinical predictive model performance is commonly published based on discrimination measures, but use of models for individualized predictions requires adequate model calibration. This tutorial is intended for clinical researchers who want to evaluate predictive models in terms of their applicability to a particular population. It is also for informaticians and for software engineers who want to understand the role that calibration plays in the evaluation of a clinical predictive model, and to provide them with a solid starting point to consider incorporating calibration evaluation and calibration models in their work. Covered topics include (1) an introduction to the importance of calibration in the clinical setting, (2) an illustration of the distinct roles that discrimination and calibration play in the assessment of clinical predictive models, (3) a tutorial and demonstration of selected calibration measurements, (4) a tutorial and demonstration of selected calibration models, and (5) a brief discussion of limitations of these methods and practical suggestions on how to use them in practice.
