Migration and Proliferation Analysis for Bladder Cancer Cells

This paper presents a cell evolution analysis (CEA) scheme  for bladder cancer cells. The proposed scheme consists of a  cell migration analysis component for computing the overall  migration rate of the cell cluster, and a cell proliferation  analysis   component   based   on   counting   the   individually  segmented   cells  within   the  cell  cluster  at  different  time  points. The proposed CEA scheme performs well for images  with poor contrast and high cell concentrations, even when  the cells are overlapping and small. Results are presented to  illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme.
