Demo dataset for: SPACEc, a streamlined, interactive Python workflow for multiplexed image processing and analysis

<p>Multiplexed imaging technologies provide insights into complex tissue architectures. However, challenges arise due to software fragmentation with cumbersome data handoffs, inefficiencies in processing large images (8 to 40 gigabytes per image), and limited spatial analysis capabilities. To efficiently analyze multiplexed imaging data, we developed SPACEc, a scalable end-to-end Python solution, that handles image extraction, cell segmentation, and data preprocessing and incorporates machine-learning-enabled, multi-scaled, spatial analysis, operated through a user-friendly and interactive interface.</p> <p>The demonstration dataset was derived from a previous analysis and contains TMA cores from a human tonsil and tonsillitis sample that were acquired with the Akoya PhenocyclerFusion platform. The dataset can be used to test the workflow and establish it on a user's system or to familiarize oneself with the pipeline.</p>
