Nucleus

 

Cytoplasm

1

Nucleus area (NA): The actual number of pixels in nucleus. A pixels area is 0.201 µm2

16

Cytoplasm area (CA): The actual number of pixels inside the nucleus cytoplasm

2

Nucleus gray level: The average perceived brightness of the nucleus from Eq. (1)

17

Cytoplasm gray level: The average perceived brightness of the cytoplasm. Calculated using Eq. (1)

3

Nucleus shortest diameter: The biggest diameter a circle can have when the circle is totally encircled within the nucleus

18

Cytoplasm shortest diameter: This is the biggest diameter a circle can have when the circle is totally encircled of the cytoplasm

4

Nucleus longest diameter: This is the shortest diameter a circle can have when surrounding the whole nucleus

19

Cytoplasm longest diameter: This is the shortest diameter a circle can have when surrounding the whole cytoplasm

5

Nucleus elongation: The ratio between the shortest and longest diameter of the nucleus

20

Cytoplasm elongation: The ratio between the shortest diameter and the longest diameter of the cytoplasm

6

Nucleus roundness: The ratio between the actual area and the area bound by the circle given by the longest diameter of the nucleus

21

Cytoplasm roundness: The ratio between the actual area and the area bound by the circle given by the longest diameter of the cytoplasm

7

Nucleus perimeter: The length of the perimeter around the nucleus

22

Cytoplasm perimeter: The length of the perimeter around the cytoplasm

8

Maxima in nucleus: Maximum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus

23

Maxima in cytoplasm: Maximum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of cytoplasm

9

Minima in nucleus: Minimum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus

24

Minima in cytoplasm: Minimum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus

10

Nucleus to cytoplasm ratio: The relative size of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. \(\frac{NA}{NA + CA}\)

25

Nucleus relative position: A measure of how well the nucleus is centred in the cytoplasm

11

Nucleus solidity: The proportion of the pixels in the convex hull that is also in the nucleus

26

Nucleus compactness: The ratio of area and square of the perimeter of the nucleus

12

Nucleus eccentricity: The eccentricity of the ellipse that has the same second-moments as the nucleus region

27

Nucleus mean: The mean gray values of the nucleus region

13

Nucleus standard deviation: The deviation of gray values of the nucleus region

28

Nucleus smoothness: The local variation in radius lengths of the nucleus region

14

Nucleus variance: The variance value of the gray values inside the nucleus region

29

Nucleus energy: The energy of gray values of the nucleus region

15

Nucleus entropy: The entropy of gray values of the nucleus region
