Automated analysis of whole brainvasculature using machine learning.

bioRxiv, accepted (2019)
Tissue clearing methods enable imaging of intactbiological specimens without sectioning. Howev-er, reliable and scalable analysis of such largeimaging data in 3D remains a challenge. Towardsthis goal, we developed a deep learning-basedframework to quantify and analyze the brain vas-culature, named Vessel Segmentation & AnalysisPipeline ( VesSAP). Our pipeline uses a fully con-volutional network with a transfer learning a p-proach for segmentation. We systematically ana-lyzed vascular features of the whole brains i n-cluding their length, bifurcation points and radiusat the micrometer scale by registering them to the Allen mouse brain atlas. We reported the firstevidence of secondary intracranial collateral vas-cularization in CD1-Elite mice and found reducedvascularization in the brainstem as compared to the cerebrum. VesSAP thus enables unbiasedand scalable quantifications for the angioarchi-tecture of the cleared intact mouse brain andyields new biological insights related to the vas-cular brain function.
