Title: Collection of publicly available imaging mass cytometry (IMC)
        datasets
Description: The imcdatasets package provides access to publicly
        available IMC datasets. IMC is a technology that enables
        measurement of > 40 proteins from tissue sections. The
        generated images can be segmented to extract single cell data.
        Datasets typically consist of three elements: a
        SingleCellExperiment object containing single cell data, a
        CytoImageList object containing multichannel images and a
        CytoImageList object containing the cell masks that were used
        to extract the single cell data from the images.
