RESUMO
Holistic understanding of physio-pathological processes requires noninvasive 3D imaging in deep tissue across multiple spatial and temporal scales to link diverse transient subcellular behaviors with long-term physiogenesis. Despite broad applications of two-photon microscopy (TPM), there remains an inevitable tradeoff among spatiotemporal resolution, imaging volumes, and durations due to the point-scanning scheme, accumulated phototoxicity, and optical aberrations. Here, we harnessed the concept of synthetic aperture radar in TPM to achieve aberration-corrected 3D imaging of subcellular dynamics at a millisecond scale for over 100,000 large volumes in deep tissue, with three orders of magnitude reduction in photobleaching. With its advantages, we identified direct intercellular communications through migrasome generation following traumatic brain injury, visualized the formation process of germinal center in the mouse lymph node, and characterized heterogeneous cellular states in the mouse visual cortex, opening up a horizon for intravital imaging to understand the organizations and functions of biological systems at a holistic level.

Long-term subcellular intravital imaging in mammals is vital to study diverse intercellular behaviors and organelle functions during native physiological processes. However, optical heterogeneity, tissue opacity, and phototoxicity pose great challenges. Here, we propose a computational imaging framework, termed digital adaptive optics scanning light-field mutual iterative tomography (DAOSLIMIT), featuring high-speed, high-resolution 3D imaging, tiled wavefront correction, and low phototoxicity with a compact system. By tomographic imaging of the entire volume simultaneously, we obtained volumetric imaging across 225 × 225 × 16 µm3, with a resolution of up to 220 nm laterally and 400 nm axially, at the millisecond scale, over hundreds of thousands of time points. To establish the capabilities, we investigated large-scale cell migration and neural activities in different species and observed various subcellular dynamics in mammals during neutrophil migration and tumor cell circulation.

Optical computing promises to improve the speed and energy efficiency of machine learning applications1-6. However, current approaches to efficiently train these models are limited by in silico emulation on digital computers. Here we develop a method called fully forward mode (FFM) learning, which implements the compute-intensive training process on the physical system. The majority of the machine learning operations are thus efficiently conducted in parallel on site, alleviating numerical modelling constraints. In free-space and integrated photonics, we experimentally demonstrate optical systems with state-of-the-art performances for a given network size. FFM learning shows training the deepest optical neural networks with millions of parameters achieves accuracy equivalent to the ideal model. It supports all-optical focusing through scattering media with a resolution of the diffraction limit; it can also image in parallel the objects hidden outside the direct line of sight at over a kilohertz frame rate and can conduct all-optical processing with light intensity as weak as subphoton per pixel (5.40 × 1018- operations-per-second-per-watt energy efficiency) at room temperature. Furthermore, we prove that FFM learning can automatically search non-Hermitian exceptional points without an analytical model. FFM learning not only facilitates orders-of-magnitude-faster learning processes, but can also advance applied and theoretical fields such as deep neural networks, ultrasensitive perception and topological photonics.
RESUMO
Photonic computing enables faster and more energy-efficient processing of vision data1-5. However, experimental superiority of deployable systems remains a challenge because of complicated optical nonlinearities, considerable power consumption of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) for downstream digital processing and vulnerability to noises and system errors1,6-8. Here we propose an all-analog chip combining electronic and light computing (ACCEL). It has a systemic energy efficiency of 74.8 peta-operations per second per watt and a computing speed of 4.6 peta-operations per second (more than 99% implemented by optics), corresponding to more than three and one order of magnitude higher than state-of-the-art computing processors, respectively. After applying diffractive optical computing as an optical encoder for feature extraction, the light-induced photocurrents are directly used for further calculation in an integrated analog computing chip without the requirement of analog-to-digital converters, leading to a low computing latency of 72 ns for each frame. With joint optimizations of optoelectronic computing and adaptive training, ACCEL achieves competitive classification accuracies of 85.5%, 82.0% and 92.6%, respectively, for Fashion-MNIST, 3-class ImageNet classification and time-lapse video recognition task experimentally, while showing superior system robustness in low-light conditions (0.14 fJ µm-2 each frame). ACCEL can be used across a broad range of applications such as wearable devices, autonomous driving and industrial inspections.
RESUMO
Planar digital image sensors facilitate broad applications in a wide range of areas1-5, and the number of pixels has scaled up rapidly in recent years2,6. However, the practical performance of imaging systems is fundamentally limited by spatially nonuniform optical aberrations originating from imperfect lenses or environmental disturbances7,8. Here we propose an integrated scanning light-field imaging sensor, termed a meta-imaging sensor, to achieve high-speed aberration-corrected three-dimensional photography for universal applications without additional hardware modifications. Instead of directly detecting a two-dimensional intensity projection, the meta-imaging sensor captures extra-fine four-dimensional light-field distributions through a vibrating coded microlens array, enabling flexible and precise synthesis of complex-field-modulated images in post-processing. Using the sensor, we achieve high-performance photography up to a gigapixel with a single spherical lens without a data prior, leading to orders-of-magnitude reductions in system capacity and costs for optical imaging. Even in the presence of dynamic atmosphere turbulence, the meta-imaging sensor enables multisite aberration correction across 1,000 arcseconds on an 80-centimetre ground-based telescope without reducing the acquisition speed, paving the way for high-resolution synoptic sky surveys. Moreover, high-density accurate depth maps can be retrieved simultaneously, facilitating diverse applications from autonomous driving to industrial inspections.
RESUMO
Efficient storage and sharing of massive biomedical data would open up their wide accessibility to different institutions and disciplines. However, compressors tailored for natural photos/videos are rapidly limited for biomedical data, while emerging deep learning-based methods demand huge training data and are difficult to generalize. Here, we propose to conduct Biomedical data compRession with Implicit nEural Function (BRIEF) by representing the target data with compact neural networks, which are data specific and thus have no generalization issues. Benefiting from the strong representation capability of implicit neural function, BRIEF achieves 2[Formula: see text]3 orders of magnitude compression on diverse biomedical data at significantly higher fidelity than existing techniques. Besides, BRIEF is of consistent performance across the whole data volume, and supports customized spatially varying fidelity. BRIEF's multifold advantageous features also serve reliable downstream tasks at low bandwidth. Our approach will facilitate low-bandwidth data sharing and promote collaboration and progress in the biomedical field.

High-speed three-dimensional (3D) intravital imaging in animals is useful for studying transient subcellular interactions and functions in health and disease. Light-field microscopy (LFM) provides a computational solution for snapshot 3D imaging with low phototoxicity but is restricted by low resolution and reconstruction artifacts induced by optical aberrations, motion and noise. Here, we propose virtual-scanning LFM (VsLFM), a physics-based deep learning framework to increase the resolution of LFM up to the diffraction limit within a snapshot. By constructing a 40 GB high-resolution scanning LFM dataset across different species, we exploit physical priors between phase-correlated angular views to address the frequency aliasing problem. This enables us to bypass hardware scanning and associated motion artifacts. Here, we show that VsLFM achieves ultrafast 3D imaging of diverse processes such as the beating heart in embryonic zebrafish, voltage activity in Drosophila brains and neutrophil migration in the mouse liver at up to 500 volumes per second.

Fluorescence microscopy has become an indispensable tool for revealing the dynamic regulation of cells and organelles. However, stochastic noise inherently restricts optical interrogation quality and exacerbates observation fidelity when balancing the joint demands of high frame rate, long-term recording and low phototoxicity. Here we propose DeepSeMi, a self-supervised-learning-based denoising framework capable of increasing signal-to-noise ratio by over 12 dB across various conditions. With the introduction of newly designed eccentric blind-spot convolution filters, DeepSeMi effectively denoises images with no loss of spatiotemporal resolution. In combination with confocal microscopy, DeepSeMi allows for recording organelle interactions in four colors at high frame rates across tens of thousands of frames, monitoring migrasomes and retractosomes over a half day, and imaging ultra-phototoxicity-sensitive Dictyostelium cells over thousands of frames. Through comprehensive validations across various samples and instruments, we prove DeepSeMi to be a versatile and biocompatible tool for breaking the shot-noise limit.

Widefield microscopy can provide optical access to multi-millimeter fields of view and thousands of neurons in mammalian brains at video rate. However, tissue scattering and background contamination results in signal deterioration, making the extraction of neuronal activity challenging, laborious and time consuming. Here we present our deep-learning-based widefield neuron finder (DeepWonder), which is trained by simulated functional recordings and effectively works on experimental data to achieve high-fidelity neuronal extraction. Equipped with systematic background contribution priors, DeepWonder conducts neuronal inference with an order-of-magnitude-faster speed and improved accuracy compared with alternative approaches. DeepWonder removes background contaminations and is computationally efficient. Specifically, DeepWonder accomplishes 50-fold signal-to-background ratio enhancement when processing terabytes-scale cortex-wide functional recordings, with over 14,000 neurons extracted in 17 h.

Genomic and transcriptomic image data, represented by DNA and RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), respectively, together with proteomic data, particularly that related to nuclear proteins, can help elucidate gene regulation in relation to the spatial positions of chromatins, messenger RNAs, and key proteins. However, methods for image-based multi-omics data collection and analysis are lacking. To this end, we aimed to develop the first integrative browser called iSMOD (image-based Single-cell Multi-omics Database) to collect and browse comprehensive FISH and nucleus proteomics data based on the title, abstract, and related experimental figures, which integrates multi-omics studies focusing on the key players in the cell nucleus from 20 000+ (still growing) published papers. We have also provided several exemplar demonstrations to show iSMOD's wide applications-profiling multi-omics research to reveal the molecular target for diseases; exploring the working mechanism behind biological phenomena using multi-omics interactions, and integrating the 3D multi-omics data in a virtual cell nucleus. iSMOD is a cornerstone for delineating a global view of relevant research to enable the integration of scattered data and thus provides new insights regarding the missing components of molecular pathway mechanisms and facilitates improved and efficient scientific research.

Deep neural networks have enabled astonishing transformations from low-resolution (LR) to super-resolved images. However, whether, and under what imaging conditions, such deep-learning models outperform super-resolution (SR) microscopy is poorly explored. Here, using multimodality structured illumination microscopy (SIM), we first provide an extensive dataset of LR-SR image pairs and evaluate the deep-learning SR models in terms of structural complexity, signal-to-noise ratio and upscaling factor. Second, we devise the deep Fourier channel attention network (DFCAN), which leverages the frequency content difference across distinct features to learn precise hierarchical representations of high-frequency information about diverse biological structures. Third, we show that DFCAN's Fourier domain focalization enables robust reconstruction of SIM images under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. We demonstrate that DFCAN achieves comparable image quality to SIM over a tenfold longer duration in multicolor live-cell imaging experiments, which reveal the detailed structures of mitochondrial cristae and nucleoids and the interaction dynamics of organelles and cytoskeleton.

Calcium imaging has transformed neuroscience research by providing a methodology for monitoring the activity of neural circuits with single-cell resolution. However, calcium imaging is inherently susceptible to detection noise, especially when imaging with high frame rate or under low excitation dosage. Here we developed DeepCAD, a self-supervised deep-learning method for spatiotemporal enhancement of calcium imaging data that does not require any high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) observations. DeepCAD suppresses detection noise and improves the SNR more than tenfold, which reinforces the accuracy of neuron extraction and spike inference and facilitates the functional analysis of neural circuits.

Increasing the layer number of on-chip photonic neural networks (PNNs) is essential to improve its model performance. However, the successive cascading of network hidden layers results in larger integrated photonic chip areas. To address this issue, we propose the optical neural ordinary differential equations (ON-ODEs) architecture that parameterizes the continuous dynamics of hidden layers with optical ODE solvers. The ON-ODE comprises the PNNs followed by the photonic integrator and optical feedback loop, which can be configured to represent residual neural networks (ResNets) and implement the function of recurrent neural networks with effectively reduced chip area occupancy. For the interference-based optoelectronic nonlinear hidden layer, the numerical experiments demonstrate that the single hidden layer ON-ODE can achieve approximately the same accuracy as the two-layer optical ResNets in image classification tasks. In addition, the ON-ODE improves the model classification accuracy for the diffraction-based all-optical linear hidden layer. The time-dependent dynamics property of ON-ODE is further applied for trajectory prediction with high accuracy.

Hyperspectral imaging that detects 3D spectra-spatial information has been used in a wide range of applications. Among reported techniques, multiplexed spectral imaging with a single-pixel detector provides as a photon-efficient and low-cost implementation; however, the previous spectral modulation schemes are mostly complicated and sacrifice the imaging speed. Here, we propose a fast and compact hyperspectral single-pixel imaging technique based on programmable chromatic illumination. A multi-wavelength LED array modulated by independent carriers achieves stable and accurate spectral modulation up to MHz in a frequency-division multiplexed manner, hence allowing the full use of the spatial light modulation speed. Additionally, we propose a multi-channel deep convolutional autoencoder network to reconstruct hyperspectral data from highly-compressed 1D measurement. Experimental reconstructions of 12 spectral channels and 64 × 64 pixels are demonstrated for dynamic imaging at 12 fps image rate. The proposed imaging scheme is highly extensible to a wide spectrum range, and holds potential for portable spectral imagers in low-light or scattering applications.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Main challenges for COVID-19 include the lack of a rapid diagnostic test, a suitable tool to monitor and predict a patient's clinical course and an efficient way for data sharing among multicenters. We thus developed a novel artificial intelligence system based on deep learning (DL) and federated learning (FL) for the diagnosis, monitoring, and prediction of a patient's clinical course. METHODS: CT imaging derived from 6 different multicenter cohorts were used for stepwise diagnostic algorithm to diagnose COVID-19, with or without clinical data. Patients with more than 3 consecutive CT images were trained for the monitoring algorithm. FL has been applied for decentralized refinement of independently built DL models. RESULTS: A total of 1,552,988 CT slices from 4804 patients were used. The model can diagnose COVID-19 based on CT alone with the AUC being 0.98 (95% CI 0.97-0.99), and outperforms the radiologist's assessment. We have also successfully tested the incorporation of the DL diagnostic model with the FL framework. Its auto-segmentation analyses co-related well with those by radiologists and achieved a high Dice's coefficient of 0.77. It can produce a predictive curve of a patient's clinical course if serial CT assessments are available. INTERPRETATION: The system has high consistency in diagnosing COVID-19 based on CT, with or without clinical data. Alternatively, it can be implemented on a FL platform, which would potentially encourage the data sharing in the future. It also can produce an objective predictive curve of a patient's clinical course for visualization. KEY POINTS: ⢠CoviDet could diagnose COVID-19 based on chest CT with high consistency; this outperformed the radiologist's assessment. Its auto-segmentation analyses co-related well with those by radiologists and could potentially monitor and predict a patient's clinical course if serial CT assessments are available. It can be integrated into the federated learning framework. ⢠CoviDet can be used as an adjunct to aid clinicians with the CT diagnosis of COVID-19 and can potentially be used for disease monitoring; federated learning can potentially open opportunities for global collaboration.

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging reveals hidden objects reflected from diffusing surfaces or behind scattering media. NLOS reconstruction is usually achieved by computational deconvolution of time-resolved transient data from a scanning single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) detection system. However, using such a system requires a lengthy acquisition, impossible for capturing dynamic NLOS scenes. We propose to use a novel SPAD array and an optimization-based computational method to achieve NLOS reconstruction of 20 frames per second (fps). The imaging system's high efficiency drastically reduces the acquisition time for each frame. The forward projection optimization method robustly reconstructs NLOS scenes from low SNR data collected by the SPAD array. Experiments were conducted over a wide range of dynamic scenes in comparison with confocal and phase-field methods. Under the same exposure time, the proposed algorithm shows superior performances among state-of-the-art methods. To better analyze and validate our system, we also used simulated scenes to validate the advantages through quantitative benchmarks such as PSNR, SSIM and total variation analysis. Our system is anticipated to have the potential to achieve video-rate NLOS imaging.
RESUMO
Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) can bypass the diffraction limit of optical microscopes and greatly improve the resolution in fluorescence microscopy. By introducing the point spread function (PSF) engineering technique, we can customize depth varying PSF to achieve higher axial resolution. However, most existing 3D single-molecule localization algorithms require excited fluorescent molecules to be sparse and captured at high signal-to-noise ratios, which results in a long acquisition time and precludes SMLM's further applications in many potential fields. To address this problem, we propose a novel 3D single-molecular localization method based on a multi-channel neural network based on U-Net. By leveraging the deep network's great advantages in feature extraction, the proposed network can reliably discriminate dense fluorescent molecules with overlapped PSFs and corrupted by sensor noise. Both simulated and real experiments demonstrate its superior performance in PSF engineered microscopes with short exposure and dense excitations, which holds great potential in fast 3D super-resolution microscopy.
