  • Patent number: 11645859
    Abstract: An analysis device configured to analyze a correlation between feature values in a cell in response to a stimulus includes: a cell-image acquiring unit configured to acquire a plurality of cell images in which the cell that is stimulated is captured; a feature value calculating unit configured to calculate a feature value for constituent elements that form the cell, based on the plurality of cell images acquired by the cell-image acquiring unit; a correlation calculating unit configured to use the feature value calculated by the feature value calculating unit and to calculate correlations between the constituent elements; a correlation selecting unit configured to select a first correlation from the correlations calculated by the correlation calculating unit; and an image selecting unit configured to select a first cell image from the plurality of cell images that are captured, based on the first correlation that is selected.

  • Patent number: 11379983
    Abstract: An analysis device configured to analyze an attribute of a correlation between responses with respect to a stimulus to a first subcellular component that is a subcellular component of a cell and a second subcellular component different from the first subcellular component, the analysis device including an attribute analysis unit that analyzes the attribute of the correlation between the first subcellular component and the second subcellular component based on a first change in a feature value of the second subcellular component with respect to the stimulus in a state a function of the first subcellular component is suppressed and a second change in a feature value of the second subcellular component with respect to the stimulus in a state the function of the first subcellular component is not suppressed.

  • Patent number: 11321836
    Abstract: An image-processing device including: a determination unit that determines a captured image on the basis of a ratio of cells and a distribution of the cells in the captured image acquired by imaging a sample including cells; and an area setting unit that sets an area used for analyzing the cells of the sample on the basis of a result of the determination acquired by the determination unit.

  • Patent number: 10990798
    Abstract: An analysis device includes: a cell image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of cell images in which a stimulated cell has been captured; a feature value calculation unit that calculates a feature value for each of first and second constituent elements constituting the cell, from the cell images acquired by the cell image acquisition unit; a correlation calculation unit that calculates correlations between first feature values and between second feature values in the first and second constituent elements calculated by the feature value calculation unit; a correlation extraction unit that extracts the correlation between the first feature values by selecting the first feature values with respect to the correlations between the feature values in the first and second constituent elements calculated by the correlation calculation unit; and a display unit that displays the correlation between the first feature values extracted by the correlation extraction unit.
