Using the Results Viewer

The Results Viewer is the main place to visually inspect selected analysis output on individual slices.

Use it to confirm that summarized values in the Results Table are supported by what you see in the images.

Why use the viewer

A table can show that one region has a high value.

The viewer helps you decide whether that value looks biologically and technically plausible.

What the overlay tells you

The viewer combines image data, selected anatomical regions, and classification or detection output.

This helps you judge:

  • Are cells assigned to expected regions?
  • Does the pattern look anatomically plausible?
  • Are false positives or false negatives concentrated in one part of the image?

For registered projects using Separate hemisphere mode, selected atlas regions can be displayed as left and right measurement areas. Hovering a split region shows statistics for that hemisphere only.

Regions configured as joint remain combined in the viewer.

Workflow-specific interpretation

In cell counting and classification projects, the viewer can show marker-positive and marker-negative cells from a shared detected cell population.

In independent-detection projects, classifier Results focus on accepted marker-positive cells. Rejected candidates are not part of the measured cell population.

Use the viewer for quality control

Look for patterns such as:

  • output that is systematically too broad or too sparse
  • region boundaries that do not match local anatomy well enough
  • slices that appear technically different from the rest of the cohort

You do not need to inspect every slice exhaustively. Reviewing representative and suspicious slices is usually more useful.

What to do if something looks wrong

If output looks unreliable, pause interpretation.

Depending on the issue, review model choice, training samples, image quality, registration, or slice inclusion flags.
