# ImaCytE
ImaCytE is a tool developed for the interactive and data-driven exploration of Imaging Mass Cytometry data as presented in the paper "ImaCytE: Visual Exploration of Cellular Micro-environments for Imaging Mass Cytometry Data". It is focused on the identification of the cell phenotypes that exist in the samples and the interactive exploration of their microenvironment.
If you use ImaCytE within the scope of a scientific article you must cite the original publication:
Somarakis A., van Unen V., Koning F., Lelieveldt B., and Höllt T., ImaCytE: Visual Exploration of Cellular Microenvironments for Imaging Mass Cytometry Data, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, pp. 1-1, 2019. DOI: 10.1109/TVCG.2019.2931299
In case you use the Cohort Comparison feature of ImaCytE you must cite also the following publication: Somarakis A., Ijsselsteijn, M.E., Luk, S.J., Kenkhuis, B., de Miranda, N.F., Lelieveldt B., and Höllt T., Visual cohort comparison for spatial single-cell omics-data, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, pp. 1-1, 2020. DOI: 10.1109/TVCG.2020.3030336
In case you have a Matlab 2016b or newer you can run ImaCytE from source code.
If you have an older version or you don't have a Matlab installed in your PC you can download and install the executable from the release page .
Please download the full repisotory and add it to your current direcotry.
