Automated quantification and reconstruction of collagen matrix from 3D confocal datasets.

چکیده
The geometrical structure of fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) impacts on its biological function. In this report, we demonstrate a new algorithm designed to extract quantitative structural information about individual collagen fibres (orientation, length and diameter) from 3D backscattered-light confocal images of collagen gels. The computed quantitative data allowed us to create surface-rendered 3D images of the investigated sample.

A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملCorrelating confocal microscopy and atomic force indentation reveals metastatic cancer cells stiffen during invasion into collagen I matrices
Mechanical interactions between cells and their microenvironment dictate cell phenotype and behavior, calling for cell mechanics measurements in three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices (ECM). Here we describe a novel technique for quantitative mechanical characterization of soft, heterogeneous samples in 3D. The technique is based on the integration of atomic force microscopy (AFM) based ...
متن کاملAutomated Feature-based Alignment for 3D Volume Reconstruction of CLSM Imagery
We address the problem of automated image alignment for 3D volume reconstruction from stacks of fluorescent confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) imagery acquired at multiple confocal depths, from a sequence of consecutive slides. We focus on automated image alignment based on centroid and area shape features by solving feature correspondence problem, also known as Procrustes problem, in hi...
متن کامل3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data
In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...
متن کاملThe application of confocal microscopy and 3D imaging software in Functional, Evolutionary, and Developmental Zoology: reconstructing myo- and neurogenesis in space and time
Although Marvin Minsky invented the basic principles as early as in 1955, it took several decades until confocal laserscanning microscopy (CLSM) finally entered the centre stage of zoological research. However, while CLSM datasets per se contain three-dimensional information, merged projection images resulting from confocal stacks provide a representation of the respective signal in 2 dimension...
