Simplified, automated methods for assessing pixel intensities of fluorescently-tagged drugs in cells.

Assessing the cytoplasmic uptake of fluorescently-tagged drugs in heterogeneous cell types currently involves time-consuming manual segmentation of confocal microscopy images. We developed a set of methods that incorporate map algebra techniques to facilitate and expedite image segmentation, particu...
