    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical imaging
    • Computational biology
    • Cancer research

    Background:

    • Longitudinal imaging of 3D cell cultures (organoids, spheroids) is crucial for cancer research.
    • Spatial displacement and mislabeling in time-course imaging confound data analysis.
    • Existing computational methods lack automated solutions for these artifacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust, automated algorithm for assessing and correcting data integrity in longitudinal 3D cell culture imaging.
    • To address spatial displacement and object mislabeling in time-course studies.
    • To enhance the reliability of 3D cell culture models for biological and drug response studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel algorithm integrating permutation-based optimization and Procrustes analysis.
    • Utilized X and Y image coordinates for reordering, matching, and aligning object positions across time points.
    • Algorithm corrects for rotation, translation, and minor movements without experimental modifications.

    Main Results:

    • Validated algorithm accuracy and robustness using simulated data.
    • Demonstrated frequent spheroid displacement and corrected mislabeled images in longitudinal tumor spheroid studies.
    • The method is computationally efficient and adaptable for data quality control.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed algorithm provides a readily accessible solution for improving data integrity in longitudinal 3D cell culture imaging.
    • Enhances reproducibility and reliability of studies using organoids and spheroids.
    • Facilitates accurate tracking of individual objects over time, crucial for cancer progression and drug discovery.
