Image processing

From Wiki CEINGE

Cell motility is a complex phenomenon, which may be explored in a variety of experimental situations, ranging from in vitro cultured cells to cell migration in whole embryos or in the adult animal. By applying video time lapse techniques to the study of live fibroblasts, the role of specific molecules such as oncogenes and components of the extracellular matrix has been evaluated. The need for applying image processing techniques to the study, stimulated the development of a number of computational tools, including a system for centralized storage of experimental images, and a web based image processing tool. Statistical analysis of cell movement and study of multidimensional images may be performed within these systems.
