Image Selection Code For Automated Dicentric Chromosome Identification

Image Selection for Metaphase Images in Automated Dicentric Chromosome Identification Author: Yanxin Li, Jin Liu Correspondence: Peter K. Rogan, Ph.D, progan@uwo.ca This code is for the following paper: Accurate cytogenetic biodosimetry through automated dicentric chromosome curation and metaphase cell selection Jin Liu, Yanxin Li, Ruth Wilkins, Farrah Flegal, Joan H. Knoll, Peter K. Rogan List of files and folders: DemoSample1: metaphase images for DemoSample1 DemoSample2: metaphase images for DemoSample2 DemoSample1.adcisample: ADCI sample file generated by ADCI software for DemoSample1. DemoSample2.adcisample: ADCI sample file generated by ADCI software for DemoSample2. ADCI sample files contain area and filters information of images which is required by Image Selection code. DemoScript.py: Image Selection code Prerequisites for the Image Selection code: Python 2. Code is tested in Python 2.7.6 NumPy How to run: Run DemoScript.py. Make sure DemoSample1.adcisample and DemoSample2.adcisample are in the same folder as DemoScript.py. Results: For each sample, the code will display image names in descending order of quality, measured by Group Bin Distance or Combined Z Score (using weight 434521). To evaluate the sorting, view metaphase images in DemoSample1 or DemoSample2 folders.
