Segmentation and Morphometric Analysis of Cells from Fluorescence Microscopy Images of Cytoskeletons

Figure 12

Cross-sectional images of a cell extracted using our method whereby the region was grown three-dimensionally. The red circles highlight the tips of parts of the cytoskeleton that appear to be separate from the main cell body in the top image. If the region were grown only in the x-y plane, these areas would be absent.
