Single-cell nuclear mechanical diagnostics (SCENMED) platform for cancer prognosis. (a) Analysis pipeline to identify nuclei and extract nuclear morphometric features. Cells are first fixed and imaged. The images are then classified using a linear model based on the extracted nuclear morphometric features and a convolutional neural network based on the segmented images. (b) Representative images of nuclei for NIH/3T3, BJ, HMEC, MCF10A, MCF7, and MDA-MB-231. (c) Adaptation of the VGG Convolutional Neural Network architecture consisting of an initial batch normalization layer followed by 10 layers of convolutions, 4 max pooling layers (kernel size 2, stride size 2), 2 fully connected layers, and a softmax output layer. Each convolution is followed by PReLU activations, and the fully connected layers are followed by ReLU activations.
