CardioVinci: building blocks for virtual cardiac cells using deep learning

Abstract

Recent advances in high-throughput microscopy imaging have made it easier to acquire large volumes of cell images. Thanks to electron microscopy (EM) imaging, they provide a high-resolution and sufficient field of view that suits imaging large cell types, including cardiomyocytes. A significant bottleneck with these large datasets is the time taken to collect, extract and statistically analyse 3D changes in cardiac ultrastructures. We address this bottleneck with CardioVinci.
