Blood cell count provides relevant clinical information about different kinds of disorders. Any deviation in the number of blood cells implies the presence of infection, inflammation, edema, bleeding, and other blood-related issues. Current microscop...
Digital tissue image analysis is a computational method for analyzing whole-slide images and extracting large, complex, and quantitative data sets. However, as with any analysis method, the quality of generated results is dependent on a well-designed...

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a fatty liver disease characterized by accumulation of fat in hepatocytes with concurrent inflammation and is associated with morbidity, cirrhosis and liver failure. After extraction of a liver core biopsy, tis...
The accurate segmentation and tracking of cells in microscopy image sequences is an important task in biomedical research, e.g., for studying the development of tissues, organs or entire organisms. However, the segmentation of touching cells in image...

Researchers working on computational analysis of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) in histopathology have primarily resorted to patch-based modelling due to large resolution of each WSI. The large resolution makes WSIs infeasible to be fed directly into the ...
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex subcellular organelle composed of diverse structures such as tubules, sheets and tubular matrices. Flaviviruses such as Zika virus (ZIKV) induce reorganization of ER membranes to facilitate viral replicatio...
Diagnostic histopathology is a gold standard for diagnosing hematopoietic malignancies. Pathologic diagnosis requires labor-intensive reading of a large number of tissue slides with high diagnostic accuracy equal or close to 100 percent to guide trea...
The analysis of leukocyte recruitment in intravital video microscopy (IVM) is essential to the understanding of inflammatory processes. However, because IVM images often present a large variety of visual characteristics, it is hard for an expert huma...
