CodeCytos: AI-assisted spatial molecular imaging analysis via code-augmented agent action space

arXiv:2606.00472v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional tissue image analysis software provides foundational capabilities for cellular analysis, including segmentation, basic morphological feature extraction, and spatial organization analysis. However, these tools often require manual intervention and are not well integrated with code-driven automation, limiting efficiency and scalability for complex spatial tissue studies. In addition, they offer limited flexibility for custom analyses, as they typically support only a fixed set of pre-implemented spatial cellular features. To address

Why this matters
