ANDTool

Analysis Nuclei DAB (AND) Tool is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to analyse microscopy images representing cells with nuclei stained using DAB dyes.

The tool requires as input the original RGB images, and the FastRed, FastBlue, DAB channel, easily obtained using the Fiji function:
"ImageJ" -> "Image" -> "Colour Deconvolution" -> "FastRed FastBlue DAB"

Then, the tool first segment the nuclei using the FastBlue channel and the DAB channel, and then computes statistics by subdividing the sample in three regions according to the FastRed channel: a dark-red ROI, a light-pink ROI and a white ROI.

ANDTool is written in MATLAB (The MathWorks, Inc., Massachusetts, USA) and the source code and standalone versions are here available for download.

USER MANUAL: see the specific PDF available in the Files section.

REQUIREMENTS: MATLAB R2017b and Image Processing Toolbox 10.1 or later versions.
