Background:

Chromosome karyotyping is vital for prenatal diagnosis of genetic diseases.
Automated analysis is hindered by challenges in chromosome instance segmentation, especially with overlapping clusters.
Current methods rely heavily on expert clinical analysts.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated chromosome instance segmentation framework for improved prenatal diagnosis.
To create a clinical dataset and augmentation algorithm for deep learning models.
To establish robust baselines for chromosome instance segmentation.

Main Methods:

Construction of a novel clinical dataset with 1,655 annotated chromosome clusters.
Development of a Chromosome Instance Labeled Dataset Augmentation (CILA) algorithm.
Implementation of a framework utilizing various instance segmentation models, including Mask-RCNN.

Main Results:

The Mask-RCNN based baseline achieved 77% mAP, 97.5% AP50, and 95.5% AP75 segmentation precision.
Achieved 95.38% accuracy, outperforming existing chromosome instance segmentation methods.
Demonstrated the effectiveness and advancement of the proposed framework and CILA algorithm.

Conclusions:

The proposed framework and methods significantly advance automated chromosome instance segmentation.
This work facilitates more accurate and efficient prenatal genetic analysis.
The dataset and code are publicly available for further research.
