TITLE  Segmentation of Breast Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT
Three different methods used for segmenting the nucleus out of breast 
cancer cells are explained. These methods include: Maximum Graph Cuts, 
Normalized Graph Cuts, and Region Growing. Example segmentations are viewed
and compared against ground truth. These results are analyzed using a 
nucleus-to-nucleus comparison and also compared against the ground truth as
a whole.

TITLE  Retinal Image Segmentation of Horizontal Cells
ABSTRACT
The contents of this paper will include a description what horizontal cells
are, where they are located and why it is important to study them. Also it
will go over cell segmentation as well ground truths and the evaluation of
the segmentation.

TITLE  Tools for Microtubule Dynamics Analysis II
ABSTRACT
We propose a software tool to perform semi-automated microtubule dynamics 
analysis on various types of microtubule images. These microtubule images 
include vitro, vivo, and motility. Two new tools are integrated into 
imaging tool. First tool is histogram equalization functionality which will
aid in more precise microtubule viewing. Second tool is life history plot 
which is the graph length of a microtubule over time.
