Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Background:

Accurate quantification of subcutaneous (SC) tissue structure is crucial for understanding skin physiology and developing computational models.
Manual image segmentation for SC tissue is labor-intensive, user-dependent, and lacks reproducibility.
Robust automated algorithms for SC tissue structure identification are currently unavailable, and supervised machine learning (ML) methods require extensive labeled datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel unsupervised machine learning methodology for automated identification of SC tissue structural features from stained histology slides.
To address the lack of labeled datasets for SC tissue analysis, a common limitation for supervised ML approaches.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel 2D image transformation to generate proximal intensity maps, representing radial intensity values for each pixel.
Reduced the proximal intensity map into a lower-dimensional feature vector space.
Employed K-means clustering for pixel classification based on computed feature vectors, utilizing an objective method for optimal search radius selection.

Main Results:

Successfully demonstrated the automated and robust classification and identification of the collagenous network within adipose tissue spaces in porcine skin SC tissue samples.
The proximal intensity map and feature space reduction enabled effective clustering of SC tissue structures.
An objective basis for selecting the optimal search radius was established for noise minimization and feature separation.

Conclusions:

The presented unsupervised ML method offers a novel approach for automatically identifying SC tissue structures.
This advancement aids in understanding skin physiology and developing improved in vitro tissue models.
The methodology provides a reproducible and efficient alternative to manual segmentation for SC tissue analysis.
