Figure 1. Workflow and example output for automated MxIF segmentation using QuPath. A) Whole-slide tiling workflow as implemented in javascript macro. Each tile of image is processed for watershed maxima and intensity threshold in a single channel; resulting ROIs returned as QuPath annotations. B) Binary image mask outputs in three MxIF channels, highlighting unique macro structures in the tissue.
