Image Processing Techniques for Assessing Contractility in Isolated Adult Cardiac Myocytes
Figure 1
(a) Original image of enzymatically dissociated adult cardiocyte taken from video depicting contractile activity. Contractile activity was recorded using bright light microscopy, while the cell was in a field stimulated chamber. (b) Smoothed image of the same enzymatically dissociated adult cardiocyte during contractile activity, after applying the edge preserving TV-based image smoothing algorithm.
