Abstract
Until relatively recently, analysis of imaging data has been primarily quantitative and limited to 3-4 markers. The advancement of various technologies overcoming this marker limitation provided the capability of analyzing multiparameter imaging data down to the single cell level, termed histocytometry. Currently, most published end-to-end histocytometric analysis of imaging data is performed using expensive commercial programs or freely available analysis packages that require significant knowledge of programming languages for execution. Here we present a protocol that performs cell segmentation, phenotyping and spatial analysis, using software with easy-to-use GUIs (graphical user interfaces). These protocols allow the user to derive spatial and phenotypical data for the analysis of multiparameter microscopic images from most imaging platforms in a low-cost manner. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
