Review: In the last decade or so biological imaging, especially fluorescence microscopy, has become a suitable tool for large-scale systematic and automated studies of biological processes. The goal of bioimaging informatics is to enable the direct extraction of assertions about biological events from images or sets of images so that these assertions can be integrated with those from other biological methods into comprehensive models of biological systems. In this book the authors have brought together a range of methods used in bioimaging informatics, giving an introduction to the field and the current state-of-the-art. The book is divided into five parts: Introduction; Subcellular structures and events; Structure and dynamics of cell populations; Automated cellular and tissue analysis; and In vivo microscopy.
