About KymFlow¤

KymFlow is a tool for analyzing kymograph blood flow data from laser scanning microscopy experiments.

Overview¤

KymFlow provides both a desktop GUI application and a Python API for working with kymograph TIFF files. The tool enables researchers to:

  • Load and visualize kymograph images
  • Edit experimental metadata
  • Perform Radon-based flow analysis to detect flow direction and velocity
  • Process multiple files in batch mode
  • Export analysis results for further processing

Features¤

  • Intuitive GUI: Browse, analyze, and manage kymograph files with an easy-to-use interface
  • Batch Processing: Analyze multiple files sequentially with progress tracking
  • Metadata Management: Edit and save experimental metadata alongside analysis results
  • Python API: Use the backend programmatically in scripts and Jupyter notebooks
  • Radon Flow Analysis: Detect flow direction and velocity using Radon transforms
