Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Deep learning detection of melanoma metastases in lymph nodes.(Elsevier, 2023-07) ;Jansen, Philipp; ;Duschner, Nicole; Background: In melanoma patients, surgical excision of the first draining lymph node, the sentinel lymph node (SLN), is a routine procedure to evaluate lymphogenic metastases. Metastasis detection by histopathological analysis assesses multiple tissue levels with hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemically stained glass slides. Considering the amount of tissue to analyze, the detection of metastasis can be highly time-consuming for pathologists. The application of artificial intelligence in the clinical routine has constantly increased over the past few years. Methods: In this multi-center study, a deep learning method was established on histological tissue sections of sentinel lymph nodes collected from the clinical routine. The algorithm was trained to highlight potential melanoma metastases for further review by pathologists, without relying on supplementary immunohistochemical stainings (e.g. anti-S100, anti-MelanA). Results: The established method was able to detect the existence of metastasis on individual tissue cuts with an area under the curve of 0.9630 and 0.9856 respectively on two test cohorts from different laboratories. The method was able to accurately identify tumour deposits>0.1 mm and, by automatic tumour diameter measurement, classify these into 0.1 mm to -1.0 mm and>1.0 mm groups, thus identifying and classifying metastasis currently relevant for assessing prognosis and stratifying treatment. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that AI-based SLN melanoma metastasis detection has great potential and could become a routinely applied aid for pathologists. Our current study focused on assessing established parameters; however, larger future AI-based studies could identify novel biomarkers potentially further improving SLN-based prognostic and therapeutic predictions for affected patients.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:18849 56 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, A Deep Prior Approach to Magnetic Particle ImagingMagnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tracer-based imaging modality with an increasing number of potential medical applications exploiting the nonlinear magnetization behavior of magnetic nanoparticles. The image reconstruction is obtained by solving an ill-posed inverse problem requiring regularization. The number of data-driven machine learning techniques applying to inverse problems is continuously increasing. While more classical regularization techniques, e.g., variational methods, are commonly used in MPI, we focus on a novel deep image prior (DIP) approach. Initially developed for image processing tasks, it has been shown to be applicable to inverse problems. In this work, we investigate the DIP approach in the context of MPI. Its behavior is illustrated and compared to standard reconstruction methods on a 2D phantom data set obtained from the Bruker preclinical MPI system.Konferenzbeitrag46 46 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Mathematical aspects of catalyst positioning in lithium/air batteries(IOP Publishing, 2020-02-25); ; ; In this paper we investigate a system of partial differential equations describing the clogging process of non-aqueous lithium/air batteries. The main aim is to optimize the positioning of catalysts on the surface of the pore of the battery in order to maximize the efficiency of the battery. To this end we analyze the parameter-to-state map which maps the initial catalyst positions cat0(x) to the diminishing radius of the pore until clogging. We obtain results on the continuity and Fréchet differentiability of the parameter-to-state map and we obtain the related sensitivity system. The paper also includes numerical experiments, which compare a greedy approach to catalyst positioning with results obtained by an analytic optimisation procedure.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:36Heft:423 21 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, A generalized conditional gradient method and its connection to an iterative shrinkage methodThis article combines techniques from two fields of applied mathematics: optimization theory and inverse problems. We investigate a generalized conditional gradient method and its connection to an iterative shrinkage method, which has been recently proposed for solving inverse problems. The iterative shrinkage method aims at the solution of non-quadratic minimization problems where the solution is expected to have a sparse representation in a known basis. We show that it can be interpreted as a generalized conditional gradient method. We prove the convergence of this generalized method for general class of functionals, which includes non-convex functionals. This also gives a deeper understanding of the iterative shrinkage method.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:42174 321 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Joint super-resolution image reconstruction and parameter identification in imaging operator: analysis of bilinear operator equations, numerical solution, and application to magnetic particle imagingOne important property of imaging modalities and related applications is the resolution of image reconstructions which relies on various factors such as instrumentation or data processing. Restrictions in resolution can have manifold origins, e.g., limited resolution of available data, noise level in the data, and/or inexact model operators. In this work we investigate a novel data processing approach suited for inexact model operators. Here, two different information sources, high-dimensional model information and high-quality measurement on a lower resolution, are comprised in a hybrid approach. The joint reconstruction of a high resolution image and parameters of the imaging operator are obtained by minimizing a Tikhonov-type functional. The hybrid approach is analyzed for bilinear operator equations with respect to stability, convergence, and convergence rates. We further derive an algorithmic solution exploiting an algebraic reconstruction technique. The study is complemented by numerical results ranging from an academic test case to image reconstruction in magnetic particle imaging.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:36Heft:1229 24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Cross-Normalization of MALDI Mass Spectrometry Imaging Data Improves Site-to-Site Reproducibility(Elsevier, 2021-07-23); ;Casadonte, Rita; ;Deininger, SörenKriegsmann, JörgMatrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) is an established tool for the investigation of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples and shows a high potential for applications in clinical research and histopathological tissue classification. However, the applicability of this method to serial clinical and pharmacological studies is often hampered by inevitable technical variation and limited reproducibility. We present a novel spectral cross-normalization algorithm that differs from the existing normalization methods in two aspects: (a) it is based on estimating the full statistical distribution of spectral intensities and (b) it involves applying a non-linear, mass-dependent intensity transformation to align this distribution with a reference distribution. This method is combined with a model-driven resampling step that is specifically designed for data from MALDI imaging of tryptic peptides. This method was performed on two sets of tissue samples: a single human teratoma sample and a collection of five tissue microarrays (TMAs) of breast and ovarian tumor tissue samples (N = 241 patients). The MALDI MSI data was acquired in two labs using multiple protocols, allowing us to investigate different inter-lab and cross-protocol scenarios, thus covering a wide range of technical variations. Our results suggest that the proposed cross-normalization significantly reduces such batch effects not only in inter-sample and inter-lab comparisons but also in cross-protocol scenarios. This demonstrates the feasibility of cross-normalization and joint data analysis even under conditions where preparation and acquisition protocols themselves are subject to variation.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:93Heft:3018 24 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Applying an artificial intelligence deep learning approach to routine dermatopathological diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma.(Wiley, 2023-10-09) ;Duschner, Nicole; ; ;Griewank, Klaus GeorgHadaschik, EvaBackground: Institutes of dermatopathology are faced with considerable challenges including a continuously rising numbers of submitted specimens and a shortage of specialized health care practitioners. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common tumors in the fair-skinned western population and represents a major part of samples submitted for histological evaluation. Digitalizing glass slides has enabled the application of artificial intelligence (AI)-based procedures. To date, these methods have found only limited application in routine diagnostics. The aim of this study was to establish an AI-based model for automated BCC detection. Patients and Methods: In three dermatopathological centers, daily routine practice BCC cases were digitalized. The diagnosis was made both conventionally by analog microscope and digitally through an AI-supported algorithm based on a U-Net architecture neural network. Results: In routine practice, the model achieved a sensitivity of 98.23% (center 1) and a specificity of 98.51%. The model generalized successfully without additional training to samples from the other centers, achieving similarly high accuracies in BCC detection (sensitivities of 97.67% and 98.57% and specificities of 96.77% and 98.73% in centers 2 and 3, respectively). In addition, automated AI-based basal cell carcinoma subtyping and tumor thickness measurement were established. Conclusions: AI-based methods can detect BCC with high accuracy in a routine clinical setting and significantly support dermatopathological work.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:21Heft:1151 40 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Singular Values for ReLU LayersDespite their prevalence in neural networks, we still lack a thorough theoretical characterization of rectified linear unit (ReLU) layers. This article aims to further our understanding of ReLU layers by studying how the activation function ReLU interacts with the linear component of the layer and what role this interaction plays in the success of the neural network in achieving its intended task. To this end, we introduce two new tools: ReLU singular values of operators and the Gaussian mean width of operators. By presenting, on the one hand, theoretical justifications, results, and interpretations of these two concepts and, on the other hand, numerical experiments and results of the ReLU singular values and the Gaussian mean width being applied to trained neural networks, we hope to give a comprehensive, singular-value-centric view of ReLU layers. We find that ReLU singular values and the Gaussian mean width do not only enable theoretical insights but also provide one with metrics that seem promising for practical applications. In particular, these measures can be used to distinguish correctly and incorrectly classified data as it traverses the network. We conclude by introducing two tools based on our findings: double layers and harmonic pruning.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:31Heft:937 36 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Trend-specific clustering for micro mass production of linked parts(Elsevier Science, 2018-07-10); ; ; ; In micro production, small tolerances, as well as size effects increase the requirement for a fast, precise, and reliable methodology that enhances the output of assemblies. In contrast to conventional approaches, a widening of the tolerance field enables an overall improvement of the output of a process chain while assuring functionality of parts. Therefore, the consideration of trends for building sections is essential for increasing the outcome by identifying sections that can be matched. This paper presents the Linked Parts Clustering Algorithm for the identification of trend-specific clusters in linked parts and demonstrates the area of application.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:67Heft:1112 117
