vmeasur

The goal of vmeasur is to quantify the contractile nature of vessels monitored under an operating microscope.

Installation

You can install the released version of vmeasur from CRAN with:

install.packages("vmeasur")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("JamesHucklesby/vmeasur")

Calibrating the operating microscope

To calibrate an operating microscope, take an image of a gradiated ruler. You can then use this function to calculate the number of pixels per mm.

calibrate_pixel_size()

Measuring the vessel diameter

Once video data is collected, the region of interest can be selected using select_roi. This provides a wizard that will assist the user through image analysis.

select_roi()

Once selected, vmeasur can output a variety of important parameters and graphs
