Image Analysis in the Molecular Pathology Core

Image analysis is the extraction of useful information from images by means of digital image procession techniques. In our lab we use computerized morphometry of microscopic images collected from experimental animals and human tissues or cells. Additional applications include quantification of various biological markers in immunohistochemically stained tumor cells (biopsies, tissue microarrays). Our imaging computer and microscope have Image Pro-Plus version 6 (Media Cybernetics, Baltimore) and Image J 1.33 (NIH) available for use by our COBRE investigators.
