A rapid and accurate method to quantify neurite outgrowth from cell and tissue cultures: Two image analytic approaches using adaptive thresholds or machine learning

ConclusionThe developed image analysis methods were more time-saving and user-independent than established approaches. Moreover, by using adaptive thresholding, we could assess images with large variations in background intensity. These tools may prove valuable in the quantitative analysis of axonal and dendritic outgrowth from numerous in vitro models used in neuroscience.
