Methods for analysing endothelial cell shape and behaviour in relation to the focal nature of atherosclerosis

The aim of this thesis is to develop automated methods for the analysis of the spatial patterns, and the functional behaviour of endothelial cells, viewed under microscopy, with applications to the understanding of atherosclerosis. Initially, a radial search approach to segmentation was attempted in...
