Abstract

Detailed description of the three dimensional organization of nuclei in confocal microscope image volumes of skeletal muscle fibers needs accurate identification of the nuclei centroids. We propose a model based method, applied as a weighted distance transform that take into consideration the diffuse, attenuated, anisotropic, and non-symmetric behavior of the nuclei signals, to provide a transformed image volume where the individual nuclei are better separated, and where the correct nuclei centroids are easily attained
