A shape-adjusted ellipse approach corrects for varied axonal dispersion angles and myelination in primate nerve roots
Abstract Segmentation of axons in light and electron micrographs allows for quantitative high-resolution analysis of nervous tissues, but varied axonal dispersion angles result in over-estimates of fiber sizes. To overcome this technical challenge, we developed a novel shape-adjusted ellipse (SAE) d...
