Paper Abstract
The combination of fluorescent contrast agents with microscopy is a powerful technique to obtain real time images of
tissue histology without the need for fixing, sectioning, and staining. The potential of this technology lies in the
identification of robust methods for image segmentation and quantitation, particularly in heterogeneous tissues. Our
solution is to apply sparse decomposition (SD) to monochrome images of fluorescently-stained microanatomy to
segment and quantify distinct tissue types. The clinical utility of our approach is demonstrated by imaging excised
margins in a cohort of mice after surgical resection of a sarcoma. Representative images of excised margins were used to
optimize the formulation of SD and tune parameters associated with the algorithm. Our results demonstrate that SD is a
robust solution that can advance vital fluorescence microscopy as a clinically significant technology.
