Release Lineage
Entered 3.13 · May 20, 2021
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
The imcdatasets package provides access to publicly available IMC datasets. IMC is a technology that enables measurement of > 40 proteins from tissue sections. The generated images can be segmented to extract single cell data. Datasets typically consist of three elements: a SingleCellExperiment object containing single cell data, a CytoImageList object containing multichannel images and a CytoImageList object containing the cell masks that were used to extract the single cell data from the images.
