Learn about implementing the Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit (AI Kit) in medical imaging. Explore single-cell data (like an RNA sequence) through imaging and gene expression profiling.

The speakers ported Squidpy to the AI Kit. Squidpy produces highly interactive visualizations that enable intuitive exploration of single-cell spatial molecular data. This process has several optional uses (like analyzing neighborhood graphs and computing spatial statistics) to facilitate the exploration of tissue images.

From huge datasets, create spatial graphs and do image analysis. Extract the image and summary features. From the image features, generate a cluster annotation that helps you study spots. Compute neighborhood enrichment that can help identify spot (node) clusters that share a common neighborhood structure across the tissue. Uncover molecular mechanisms associated with cell differentiation and disease progression.

Use the results for:

• Finding abnormalities in gene expression
• Disease progression
