| 研究実績の概要 |
The purpose of the project is to develop an interpretable image processing pipeline that uses deep learning tools to automate image analyses of AD microscopy images. In FY2022 and FY2023, the Research Plan was to focus on image preprocessing and processing of Ab plaques in images.
In the previous year, it became evident that it was necessary to develop methods that can handle images of varying contrast, brightness, hue, etc. To this end, we developed a deep learning meta-network that learns to combine different segmentation maps to generate one that most closely resembles the ground truth label. This work will be published as a short paper in the Medical Imaging with Deep Learning conference this year. The meta-network will be helpful in segmenting AD microscopy datasets, which generally have low signal-to-noise ratio, particularly at advanced stages of disease.

3: やや遅れている
理由
Progress is being made in developing deep learning networks for segmentation, as well as automated processing pipelines and data organizing structures. These results have been published in international and local conferences. However, there is some delay in generating specific results for the datasets that we have, and in obtaining more diverse datasets. We aim to apply the tools that we have developed in the previous 2 years in the current fiscal year.
|
| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
For the current fiscal year, we plan to apply the tools that we developed to the AD datasets and present these findings at the Japanese Neuroscience Conference. At the conference, we also plan to recruit imaging datasets from other researchers in the AD field, for the purpose of further developing our pipeline and to encourage collaboration.
|
| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
Due to the focus on methodology development, there was an adjustment in the direct cost budget breakdown. The incurring amount, along with the budget of the next fiscal year, will be used to purchase equipment for data storage and collaborator use, and to encourage further collaboration by attending conferences.
