Advances in tissue clearing and three-dimensional microscopy require new tools to analyze the resulting large volumes with single-cell resolution. Many existing nuclei detection approaches fail when applied to the developing heart, with its high cell density, and elongated myocytes. We propose a new regression-based convolutional neural network that detect nuclei centroids in whole DAPI-stained embryonic quail hearts. High nuclei detection accuracy was obtained in two different hearts where our algorithm outperformed other deep learning approaches. Once nuclei were identified we were also able to extract properties such as orientation and size, which enables future studies of heart development and disease.
