Image analysis is a crucial step in processing microarray data generated by gene expression studies, which have been used extensively in understanding the molecular mechanisms of injury and recovery. A novel image analysis method utilizing an efficient snake-based multichannel image segmentation algorithm is proposed to analyze the microarray data. The preliminary experimental results show that this method achieved very high segmentation accuracy, which guarantees accurate feature measurements.
