Which Techniques are Used in Quantitative Imaging?
Several advanced techniques are employed in quantitative imaging, including:
Digital Pathology: High-resolution scanning of histological slides to create digital images that can be analyzed using software. Image Analysis Software: Programs that can quantify various parameters such as cell count, area, perimeter, and intensity of staining. Fluorescence Microscopy: Allows for the visualization and quantification of specific molecules within tissues using fluorescent markers. Confocal Microscopy: Provides detailed 3D images of tissue sections, enabling precise measurement of cellular and subcellular structures. Machine Learning and AI: Algorithms that can analyze large datasets and identify patterns or anomalies in histological images.
