Deep Learning for the Automated Feature Labelling of 3-Dimensional Imaged Placenta
Deep Learning for the Automated Feature Labelling of 3-Dimensional Imaged Placenta
3-D visualisation of cellular structures within the placenta is important for advancing research into the factors determining fetal growth, which are linked to chronic disease risk and quality of lifelong health. 2-D analysis can be challenging, and spatial interaction between structures can be easily missed, but obtaining 3-D structural images is extremely labour-intensive due to the high level of rigorous manual processing required. Deep neural networks are used to automate this previously manual process to construct fast and accurate 3-D structural images, which can be used for 3-D image analysis. The deep networks described in this chapter are trained to label both single cell, a fibroblast and a pericyte, and multicellular, endothelial, structures from within serial block-face scanning electron microscopy placental imaging. Automated labels are equivalent, pixel-to-pixel, to manual labels by over 98% on average over all cell structures and network architectures, and are able to successfully label unseen regions and stacks.

Abstract
3-D visualisation of cellular structures within the placenta is important for advancing research into the factors determining fetal growth, which are linked to chronic disease risk and quality of lifelong health. 2-D analysis can be challenging, and spatial interaction between structures can be easily missed, but obtaining 3-D structural images is extremely labour-intensive due to the high level of rigorous manual processing required. Deep neural networks are used to automate this previously manual process to construct fast and accurate 3-D structural images, which can be used for 3-D image analysis. The deep networks described in this chapter are trained to label both single cell, a fibroblast and a pericyte, and multicellular, endothelial, structures from within serial block-face scanning electron microscopy placental imaging. Automated labels are equivalent, pixel-to-pixel, to manual labels by over 98% on average over all cell structures and network architectures, and are able to successfully label unseen regions and stacks.
