Wrapping up a lovely two days in York hanging with @laurawiggins13.bsky.social @yorkbioimaging.bsky.social @caronjacobs.bsky.social and many other fabulous friends (old and new) to talk about how we can bring great label free imaging and image analysis to every part of the globe. (1/2)

#CBIAS2024 attendees group photo. Is there a collective noun for a dense group of image analysts?

Exploring the Impact of Variability in Cell Segmentation and Tracking Approaches

While manual segmentation and tracking of cells from microscopy images remain common practices in biological studies, our work demonstrates the inter- and intra-user variability that can arise from t...

We quantified both inter- and intra-user variability in manual cell segmentation and tracking, and found that even small discrepancies can lead to significant differences in the extracted phenotypic features, such as cell size, shape, and migration 😱 (2/3)

Ever wondered to what extent manual cell segmentation and tracking methods impact downstream feature extraction? Look no further! (1/3)
