An image dataset of 10 different size molecules, where each molecule has 2,000 structural variants, is generated from the 2D cross-sectional projection of Molecular Dynamics trajectories. The purpose of this dataset is to provide a benchmark dataset for the increasing need of machine learning, deep learning and image processing on the study of scattering, imaging and microscopy.

Cataract is one of the leading causes of reversible visual impairment and blindness globally. Over the years, researchers have achieved significant progress in developing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques for automatic cataract classification and grading, helping clinicians prevent and treat cataract in time. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances in machine learning for cataract classification and grading based on ophthalmic images. We summarize existing literature from two research directions: conventional machine learning techniques and deep learning techniques. This paper also provides insights into existing works of both merits and limitations. In addition, we discuss several challenges of automatic cataract classification and grading based on machine learning techniques and present possible solutions to these challenges for future research.
Advances in computing power, deep learning architectures, and expert labelled datasets have spurred the development of medical imaging artificial intelligence systems that rival clinical experts in a variety of scenarios. The National Institutes of Health in 2018 identified key focus areas for the future of artificial intelligence in medical imaging, creating a foundational roadmap for research in image acquisition, algorithms, data standardization, and translatable clinical decision support systems. Among the key issues raised in the report: data availability, need for novel computing architectures and explainable AI algorithms, are still relevant despite the tremendous progress made over the past few years alone. Furthermore, translational goals of data sharing, validation of performance for regulatory approval, generalizability and mitigation of unintended bias must be accounted for early in the development process. In this perspective paper we explore challenges unique to high dimensional clinical imaging data, in addition to highlighting some of the technical and ethical considerations in developing high-dimensional, multi-modality, machine learning systems for clinical decision support.
Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique in biomedical research that uses the fluorophore decay rate to provide additional contrast in fluorescence microscopy. However, at present, the calculation, analysis, and interpretation of FLIM is a complex, slow, and computationally expensive process. Machine learning (ML) techniques are well suited to extract and interpret measurements from multi-dimensional FLIM data sets with substantial improvement in speed over conventional methods. In this topical review, we first discuss the basics of FILM and ML. Second, we provide a summary of lifetime extraction strategies using ML and its applications in classifying and segmenting FILM images with higher accuracy compared to conventional methods. Finally, we discuss two potential directions to improve FLIM with ML with proof of concept demonstrations.
Medical imaging is an important research field with many opportunities for improving patients health. However, there are a number of challenges that are slowing down the progress of the field as a whole, such optimizing for publication. In this paper we reviewed several problems related to choosing datasets, methods, evaluation metrics, and publication strategies. With a review of literature and our own analysis, we show that at every step, potential biases can creep in. On a positive note, we also see that initiatives to counteract these problems are already being started. Finally we provide a broad range of recommendations on how to further these address problems in the future. For reproducibility, data and code for our analyses are available on url{https://github.com/GaelVaroquaux/ml_med_imaging_failures}
Executing machine learning (ML) pipelines in real-time on radiology images is hard due to the limited computing resources in clinical environments and the lack of efficient data transfer capabilities to run them on research clusters. We propose Niffler, an integrated framework that enables the execution of ML pipelines at research clusters by efficiently querying and retrieving radiology images from the Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) of the hospitals. Niffler uses the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) protocol to fetch and store imaging data and provides metadata extraction capabilities and Application programming interfaces (APIs) to apply filters on the images. Niffler further enables the sharing of the outcomes from the ML pipelines in a de-identified manner. Niffler has been running stable for more than 19 months and has supported several research projects at the department. In this paper, we present its architecture and three of its use cases: an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter detection from the images in real-time, identification of scanner utilization, and scanner clock calibration. Evaluations on the Niffler prototype highlight its feasibility and efficiency in facilitating the ML pipelines on the images and metadata in real-time and retrospectively.
