Artificial intelligence accelerates tomography of fluorescent molecules

:2019-05-09

Zhang Guanglei, a team of researchers at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics' Center for Biomedical Engineering, has applied artificial intelligence technology to fluorescent molecular tomography for the first time. It has significantly improved the target positioning accuracy and imaging contrast of the reconstruction results of fluorescent molecular tomography, and will reconstruct the speed. Increased by more than 1000 times. The research paper was recently published in the international journal Optics Express.

Fluorescence molecular tomography can observe the pathogenesis of cancer occurrence, development and metastasis at the molecular and cellular levels. It has the characteristics of non-invasive, in vivo and real-time monitoring, which is of great significance for the early diagnosis of cancer. However, problems such as lower imaging resolution and longer imaging time have prevented the technology from being used in biomedical research.

Based on the deep learning technology, Zhang Guanglei's team proposed an "end-to-end" reconstruction method based on 3D convolution depth encoder-decoder. This new method does not require a priori knowledge such as optical parameters. Instead, it continuously learns and adjusts model parameters through a large number of data mapping cases from internal fluorescence distribution to boundary fluorescence signal distribution, and directly establishes a nonlinear mapping relationship between input and output. "Deep learning based reconstruction methods do not require explicit definition of the forward and reverse problems of fluorescence molecular tomography reconstruction, fundamentally avoiding errors due to inaccuracies of linear models, and because there is no complexity in traditional reconstruction methods. The iterative calculation process greatly improves the reconstruction efficiency." Zhang Guanglei said. (Reporter Wang Yuyu)

Water Chloride Test Strips

Chloride is a common inorganic anion in water and wastewater. Chloride ions are found in almost all natural water,and their levels vary widely. In rivers, lakes. In marshes, chloride levels are generally low,but in seawater,salt lakes,and some groundwater levels can be as high as tens of grams per liter. In the human survival activities,chloride has very important physiological functions and industrial uses.Because of this,a considerable amount of chloride ions are contained in domestic sewage and industrial wastewater.

If the content of chloride ion in the book reaches 250mg without litres,the corresponding cation is sodium,will feel salty; High levels of chloride in water can damage metal pipes and buildings and hinder plant growth.
