Nucleus Cytoplasm
1 Nucleus area (NA): The actual number of pixels in nucleus. A pixels area is 0.201 µm2 16 Cytoplasm area (CA): The actual number of pixels inside the nucleus cytoplasm
2 Nucleus gray level: The average perceived brightness of the nucleus from Eq. (1) 17 Cytoplasm gray level: The average perceived brightness of the cytoplasm. Calculated using Eq. (1)
3 Nucleus shortest diameter: The biggest diameter a circle can have when the circle is totally encircled within the nucleus 18 Cytoplasm shortest diameter: This is the biggest diameter a circle can have when the circle is totally encircled of the cytoplasm
4 Nucleus longest diameter: This is the shortest diameter a circle can have when surrounding the whole nucleus 19 Cytoplasm longest diameter: This is the shortest diameter a circle can have when surrounding the whole cytoplasm
5 Nucleus elongation: The ratio between the shortest and longest diameter of the nucleus 20 Cytoplasm elongation: The ratio between the shortest diameter and the longest diameter of the cytoplasm
6 Nucleus roundness: The ratio between the actual area and the area bound by the circle given by the longest diameter of the nucleus 21 Cytoplasm roundness: The ratio between the actual area and the area bound by the circle given by the longest diameter of the cytoplasm
7 Nucleus perimeter: The length of the perimeter around the nucleus 22 Cytoplasm perimeter: The length of the perimeter around the cytoplasm
8 Maxima in nucleus: Maximum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus 23 Maxima in cytoplasm: Maximum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of cytoplasm
9 Minima in nucleus: Minimum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus 24 Minima in cytoplasm: Minimum number of pixels inside of a three-pixel radius of nucleus
10 Nucleus to cytoplasm ratio: The relative size of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. NANA+CA 25 Nucleus relative position: A measure of how well the nucleus is centred in the cytoplasm
11 Nucleus solidity: The proportion of the pixels in the convex hull that is also in the nucleus 26 Nucleus compactness: The ratio of area and square of the perimeter of the nucleus
12 Nucleus eccentricity: The eccentricity of the ellipse that has the same second-moments as the nucleus region 27 Nucleus mean: The mean gray values of the nucleus region
13 Nucleus standard deviation: The deviation of gray values of the nucleus region 28 Nucleus smoothness: The local variation in radius lengths of the nucleus region
14 Nucleus variance: The variance value of the gray values inside the nucleus region 29 Nucleus energy: The energy of gray values of the nucleus region
15 Nucleus entropy: The entropy of gray values of the nucleus region
