Abstract:
Mitosis detection is one of the challenging steps in biomedical imaging research, which can be used to observe the cell behavior. Most of the already existing methods that are applied in detecting mitosis usually contain many nonmitotic events (normal cell and background) in the result (false positives, FPs). In order to address such problem, in this study, we propose to apply 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) networks called CasDetNet_CLSTM, which can accurately detect mitotic events in 4D microscopic images. This CasDetNet_CLSTM involves a 2.5D faster region-based convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN) as the first network, and a convolutional long short-term memory (CLSTM) network as the second network. The first network is used to select candidate cells using the information from nearby slices, whereas the second network uses temporal information to eliminate FPs and refine the result of the first network. Our experiment shows that the precision and recall of our networks yield better results than those of other state-of-the-art methods.
