Abstract
The
Bloodomics EU project aims are to identify the genetic risks factors of coronary heart diseases.
One of the most common methods is to study the thrombus formation in the dorsal aorta of mutant Zebrafish larvae. The developing thrombus is imaged in vivo through a microscope/camera setup. The derived time to attachment, growth speed, and time to occlusion permits the characterization of the thrombus formation.
However, this step presently remains manual. Our objective is to provide the geneticists in the
Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute with an image processing tool to automatically detect and segment the growing thrombus. This will significantly speed up and improve the precision of this current analysis.
