Automated cell counter for immunostained cells

[csadangi]

Hi,

I want to count the number of cells in my immunostained tissues. I am looking for an automated counter which would do the counting once i select my region of interest (ROI). I have already come across the cell counter and ICTN plugin but that didn't help (ICTN) me a lot.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

Sounds like you're not working with fluorescence.  For traditional color
stains I use the Colour Deconvolution plugin to separate the channels and
then threshold to count cells with Analyze Particles (after some processing
like Watershed segmentation). Usually this is for DAB-stained tissue
counterstained with hematoxylin, so I use the "H DAB" color matrix in
Colour Deconvolution or define my own.

To automate this I record the steps into a macro.

Hi Esteban,
did you use the built-in vectors fro color deconvolution? or you made your own vectors?

Mostly the built-in ones but sometimes my own.  The trouble I run into
is slide-to-slide variation in staining, so sometimes I have to use
more than one custom vector for different batches of stainings.

Hi All,

If anyone is interested, I've recently updated my instructions for using the Colour Deconvolution plugin.

Take a look here: https://www.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz/en/sms/about/our-departments/biomedical-imaging-research-unit/image-processing-and-analysis/analysis-resources.html

The instructions for creating a macro when you need to create your own vectors using user values are from last year but should work fine. I also have a macro for batch processing, which saves the images you want, if anyone is interested. I haven't uploaded it to our site yet.

Of course, it's always better to create these vectors from slides with single stains first...

Kind regards,

Jacqui
