Crisp and Soft Multivariate Methods Visualize Individual Cell Nuclei in Raman Images of Liver Tissue Sections
Vibrational spectroscopy(2011)
摘要
Raman and infrared spectroscopy have been recognized to be promising tools in clinical diagnostics because they provide molecular contrast without external stains. Here, vertex component analysis (VCA) was applied to Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) images of liver tissue sections and the results were compared with K-means cluster analysis, fuzzy C-means cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The main components of VCA from three Raman images were assigned to the central vein, periportal vein, cell nuclei, liver parenchyma and bile duct. After resonant Mie scattering correction, VCA of FTIR images identified veins, liver parenchyma, cracks, but no cell nuclei. The advantages of VCA in the context of tissue characterization by vibrational spectroscopic imaging are that the tissue architecture is visualized and the spectral information is reconstructed. Composite images were constructed that revealed a high molecular contrast and that can be interpreted in a similar way like hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections.
