Title: Methods for imaging mass cytometry data analysis
Description: This R package supports the handling and analysis of
        imaging mass cytometry and other highly multiplexed imaging
        data. The main functionality includes reading in single-cell
        data after image segmentation and measurement, data formatting
        to perform channel spillover correction and a number of spatial
        analysis approaches. First, cell-cell interactions are detected
        via spatial graph construction; these graphs can be visualized
        with cells representing nodes and interactions representing
        edges. Furthermore, per cell, its direct neighbours are
        summarized to allow spatial clustering. Per image/grouping
        level, interactions between types of cells are counted,
        averaged and compared against random permutations. In that way,
        types of cells that interact more (attraction) or less
        (avoidance) frequently than expected by chance are detected.
