I have some cardiac cell cultures where certain clumps of cells are
beating.  The control dish has a different beat frequency than the
experimental and the number of beating clumps (area) differs as well.
Images can be acquired via a CCD camera at 5 frames a second or video
camera with a digitizing board.  Is there an automated approach to
answering (quantifying) the different frequency at which they are
beating and also compare the area of beating clumps between the
cultures?   I guess the area question could be answered by hand drawing
roi's, but it seems it would be easier if they were selected due to
motion.
 
Thanks in advance,
