16th Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI)

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is an invaluable tool for biologists and neuroscientists to study brain structure at the intra- cellular level. While able to image tissue samples with up to 5nm isotropic resolution, image acquisition is prohibitively slow and limits the size of processed samples. In this work, we propose a novel approach to speeding up imaging when looking for specific structures. Unlike earlier methods, we explicitly balance the conflicting requirements of spending enough time scanning potential regions of interest to ensure that all targets are found while not wasting time on unpromising regions. This is achieved by using a Markov Random Field to model target locations and optimiz- ing scanning locations by using a Branch-and-Bound strategy. We show that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods to locate mitochondria in brain tissue.
