Key Investigators

• Kishore Mosaliganti, Harvard Medical School
• Arnaud Gelas, Harvard Medical School
• Alexandre Gouaillard, Harvard Medical School
• Luca Antiga, Mario Negri Institute
• Luis Ibanez, Kitware

Objective

• Implement a 3D+t image analysis pipeline for multistain microscopy images
• Use references 1-4 for preprocessing, cell segmentation and tracking in ITK
• Make a submission to Insight Journal

Approach, Plan

• First prototype of filters are already implemented
• Code review to be done with an ITK expert (luis/bill/jim?)
• Run on cell datasets and build relevant tests
• Write IJ paper

Progress

• Improved code quality by making it more memory and run-time efficient
• Wrote test scripts and examples
• Run on cell datasets and exchanged code with Shantanu, OSU and Luca
• Began writing IJ paper
