Abstract Existing approaches to evaluate cell viability involve staining with chemical reagents. However, the step of exogenous makes these methods undesirable for rapid, nondestructive, and long-term investigation. Here, we present an instantaneous assessment unlabeled cells using phase imaging computation specificity. This concept utilizes deep learning techniques compute markers associated specimen measured by label-free quantitative imaging. Demonstrated on different live cultures,...

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand on efficient algorithms for large scale change point detection problems. To this end, we propose seeded binary segmentation, approach relying a deterministic construction of background intervals, called in which single points are searched. The final selection based the candidates from intervals can be done various ways, adapted to problem at hand. Thus, segmentation is easy adapt wide range problems, let that univariate, multivariate or...

A variety of deep neural network (DNN)-based image denoising methods have been proposed for use with medical images. Traditional measures quality (IQ) employed to optimize and evaluate these methods. However, the objective evaluation IQ DNN-based remains largely lacking. In this work, we performance by task-based measures. Specifically, binary signal detection tasks under signal-known-exactly (SKE) background-known-statistically (BKS) conditions are considered. The ideal observer (IO) common...

<div>Abstract<p>The rapid development of spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies has enabled transcriptome-wide profiling gene expression in tissue sections. Despite the emergence single-cell resolution platforms, most ST sequencing studies still operate at a multicell resolution. Consequently, deconvolution cell identities within spots become imperative for characterizing cell-type–specific organization. To this end, we developed Spatial Deconvolution Explorer (SpatialDeX),...
