<i>TITAN</i>: An end‐to‐end data analysis environment for the Hyperion™ imaging system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) is a powerful high-throughput technique enabling resolution of up to 37 markers in a single fixed tissue section while also preserving in situ spatial relationships. Currently, IMC processing and analysis necessitates the use of multiple different software, labour-intensive pipeline development, different operating systems and knowledge of bioinformatics, all of which are a barrier to many potential users. Here we present TITAN - an open-source, single environment, end-to-end pipeline that can be utilized for image visualization, segmentation, analysis and export of IMC data. TITAN is implemented as an extension within the publicly available 3D Slicer software. We demonstrate the utility, application, reliability and comparability of TITAN using publicly available IMC data from recently-published breast cancer and COVID-19 lung injury studies. Compared with current IMC analysis methods, TITAN provides a user-friendly, efficient single environment to accurately visualize, segment, and analyze IMC data for all users.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
