Code for tracking Astrocytes/Blood vessels in Calcium Imaging based recordings from ... Data files should be loaded as .tiff stacks with several options for processing (see matlab file). The main-script is tracking_script.m which can be used to track multiple .tiff stacks simultaneously The sub-function distance finder outputs various metrics computed from the blood vessel tracking, (e.g. blood vessel width measured in several ways, etc.) These metrics, among others (e.g. cross sectional area, etc.) are then recorded into an .xls file as the final output.
