Image Group

As previously explained on the Project page, the project consists of a raw (one-level) list of images with no links or relationships between them, as shown below:

In some studies, it may be necessary to link images that are related, such as images from a sample acquired using different preparation methods (e.g., IHC staining) or acquisition protocols (e.g., different scanners or microscopes).

The ImageGroup concept represents a collection of related images. This concept therefore allows to link multiple, multimodal images. With image groups, annotations can also be linked accross images, such as associating a region of interest in Image A with corresponding regions in Images B, C, and so on.

Create an Image Group

To create an image group, go to the “Image groups” panel and click on ”Add image group”. Then, choose a name for your new Image Group:

You will then be able to select images from your project and associate them to this image group:

You will then have a list of image groups in your project (in this case, 4 different image groups, each containing a varying number of images). In this example, the last image group contains 10 images:

When using the multiple image viewer, you can also browse from one image to another in this ImageGroup using "Previous image in group" or "Next image in group":
