Many studies have shown that shape of mitochondria indicates the occurrence of diseases. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) enables to obtain image of internal structures of the cell and mitochondria. Automatic segmentation of mitochondria contributes to the decision of diseases by specialists. There is limited study about automatic segmentation of mitochondria in Serial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy (SFBSEM) images. SBFSEM imaging technique provides full automation, well registered images, less time and less effort for data acquisition. Therefore, SBFSEM imaging technique is selected for this study. Recently, deep learning methods have been implemented for image processing of SEM datasets. However, due to requirement of huge datasets, much effort and powerful computers for preparing testing and training data, energy based model is implemented for this study. The algorithms used in this thesis are primarily the algorithms developed by Tasel et al for mitochondria segmentation in TEM images. The method includes preprocessing, ridge detection, energy mapping, curve fitting, snake-based shape extraction, validation and post-processing steps. In this thesis, these algorithms are adapted and refined for SBFSEM images to obtain optimum performance. Evaluations are made by using Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), precision, recall and F-Score metrics.

Computerized detection and segmentation of mitochondria on electron microscope images
Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Tasel, S. F.; Perkins, Guy; Martone, M. E.; Gurcan, M. N. (2012-06-01)
Mitochondrial function plays an important role in the regulation of cellular life and death, including disease states. Disturbance in mitochondrial function and distribution can be accompanied by significant morphological alterations. Electron microscopy tomography (EMT) is a powerful technique to study the 3D structure of mitochondria, but the automatic detection and segmentation of mitochondria in EMT volumes has been challenging due to the presence of subcellular structures and imaging artifacts. Therefo...
Automatic detection of mitochondria from electron microscope tomography images: a curve fitting approach
Tasel, Serdar F.; HASSANPOUR, REZA; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Perkins, Guy; Martone, Maryann (2014-02-18)
Mitochondria are sub-cellular components which are mainly responsible for synthesis of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and involved in the regulation of several cellular activities such as apoptosis. The relation between some common diseases of aging and morphological structure of mitochondria is gaining strength by an increasing number of studies. Electron microscope tomography (EMT) provides high-resolution images of the 3D structure and internal arrangement of mitochondria. Studies that aim to reveal the c...
A validated active contour method driven by parabolic arc model for detection and segmentation of mitochondria
Tasel, Serdar F.; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Hassanpour, Reza Z.; Perkins, Guy (2016-06-01)
Recent studies reveal that mitochondria take substantial responsibility in cellular functions that are closely related to aging diseases caused by degeneration of neurons. These studies emphasize that the membrane and crista morphology of a mitochondrion should receive attention in order to investigate the link between mitochondria] function and its physical structure. Electron microscope tomography (EMT) allows analysis of the inner structures of mitochondria by providing highly detailed visual data from l...
Genome-Scale Networks Link Neurodegenerative Disease Genes to α-Synuclein through Specific Molecular Pathways.
KHURANA, V; et. al. (2017-02-22)
Numerous genes and molecular pathways are implicated in neurodegenerative proteinopathies, but their inter-relationships are poorly understood. We systematically mapped molecular pathways underlying the toxicity of alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a protein central to Parkinson's disease. Genome-wide screens in yeast identified 332 genes that impact alpha-syn toxicity. To "humanize'' this molecular network, we developed a computational method, Transpose Net. This integrates a Steiner prize-collecting approach w...
Investigation of neutron sensitivity of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 for thermoluminescence applications
Iflazoglu, Sera; Yılmaz, Ayşen; KAFADAR, VURAL EMİR; YAZICI, AHMET NECMEDDİN (2018-09-01)
In this study, thermoluminescence characteristics of un-doped and Dy-doped calcium tetraborate (CaB4O7) compounds are reported. The polycrystalline powder samples of un-doped and Dy-doped CaB4O7 were prepared by a solid-state reaction at high-temperature method. The identification and characteristics of the obtained compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared analysis, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The glow curves ...
