In Silico Analysis for Imaging Mass Spectrometry

The bioinformatics group at Belgium's Katholieke Universiteit Leuven has taken up the task of extending in silico analysis of imaging mass spectrometry data:

"Typically, we have initially a grid of pixels in which each element encodes a peaklisted mass spectrum as a vector of intensities for a discretized mass-over-charge value. We will be looking at methods to extract fragment images, protein images, and perform segmentation on these false color images."
