Model-Based Segmentation and Colocalization Quantification in 3D Microscopy Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new model-based approach for automatic quantification of colocalizations in 3D microscopy images. The approach is based on different 3D parametric intensity models in conjunction with a model fitting scheme to quantify subcellular structures with high accuracy. The central idea is to determine colocalizations between different channels based on the estimated geometry of subcellular structures. Furthermore, we perform a statistical analysis to assess the significance of the determined colocalizations. We have successfully applied our approach to about 400 three-channel 3D microscopy images of soft-tissue tumors.

متن کاملQuantification of colocalization and cross-talk based on spectral angles.
Common methods for quantification of colocalization in fluorescence microscopy typically require cross-talk free images or images where cross-talk has been eliminated by image processing, as they are based on intensity thresholding. Quantification of colocalization includes not only calculating a global measure of the degree of colocalization within an image, but also a classification of each i...
