Implication

Software evaluation demonstrates streamlined high-throughput processing of lattice light-sheet microscopy data in human neutrophils, suggesting accelerated turnaround for terabyte-scale bioimaging.

Key Points

To develop and validate napari-lattice, an open-source, scalable image processing tool designed to eliminate data storage and handling bottlenecks for lattice light-sheet microscopy and oblique plane microscopy.
Engineered napari-lattice with a graphical user interface and a high-performance computing command-line interface for scalable image deskewing, visualization, and analysis.
Built an end-to-end processing pipeline coupling ilastik for cell segmentation and scikit-image for morphology and intensity tracking in live human blood neutrophils.
Parallelized processing across targeted regions of interest on a high-performance computing node and benchmarked runtime against full field-of-view processing across multiple microscopy configurations.
Restricting data processing to regions of interest reduced deskewed data size by approximately 2.6-fold.
Region-of-interest parallelization completed the complete analysis pipeline in ~12 h, whereas full field-of-view processing failed to complete within 48 h.
Successfully processed diverse publicly available oblique plane microscopy datasets, confirming cross-platform workflow modularity.
