Temporal focusing multiphoton excitation microscopy (TFMPEM) offers faster image acquisition compared to the traditional point-scanning multiphoton excitation microscopy (PSMPEM). Nevertheless, TFMPEM encounters challenges due to scattering in deeper biotissue layers. In this study, we introduce a multi-stage 3D U-Net approach to enhance TFMPEM image quality specifically for shallow layers without extending acquisition time. Furthermore, we propose a network based on ConvLSTM and PhyCell to predict images of deeper layers. This network learns from TFMPEM-restored images and enables precise analysis of deeper biological specimen layers within PSMPEM images.

In an aging society, early detection of osteoporosis is imperative due to the increased risk of bone injury associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). Our study introduces an intelligent optical bone densitometer (iOBD) combined with deep learning for estimating BMD in specific body regions. To accurately capture the wrist position, the target region for iOBD measurement, we utilize U-net for automated biomedical image segmentation to generate a mask for the wrist image. We can obtain noise-free images by multiplying the mask with original wrist images, facilitating subsequent deep learning analysis to estimate BMD in multiple body regions accurately.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the key prognostic biomarker for evaluating the treatment response of cancer patients but their rarity in the bloodstream is the major challenge. We demonstrated a label-free liquid crystal (LC) cytosensor, by adopting an aptamer against epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) to capture the EpCAM positive cancer cells. The optical biosensing approach resulted in a limit of detection (LOD) of 5 CTCs. Through the dielectric approach, we further improved the LOD to a single CTC. This study manifested the detection of single-cell CTCs in cancer cell-spiked human serum and whole blood using the LC-based dielectric cytosensor.

Hsiang-Fu Huang Application of optical coherence tomography and deep learning for intraoperative lung cancer grading diagnosis
Hsiang-Fu Huang, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (Taiwan); Hung-Chang Liu, Mackay Memorial Hospital (Taiwan); Miao-Hui Lin, Rui-Cheng Zeng, Chia-Wei Sun, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (Taiwan)

This research proposes a novel human-machine interface (HMI) that automatically identifies types of lung lesions during surgery via combining mobile optical coherence tomography (OCT) and deep learning algorithms. With over 80 % sensitivity and specificity, this technique facilitates rapid histologically graded diagnosis, providing fast information to clinicians and offering a cost-effective approach for early detection and treatment guidance.
