MRI detection of single cells is an underutilized advancement in MRI-based cell tracking. One reason for its underutilization has been a lack of methods for quantifying information in these images. For example, single cell detection enables quantification of cell numbers and accurate cell localization. To achieve single cell detection by MRI, cells are labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide particles allowing their detection as punctate hypointensities in T2*-weighted MRI. We have developed a machine learning and computer vision based strategy for the generalizable detection and quantification of MRI-based single cell detection. Our approach can detect spots with an accuracy of 99.8%.
