title: Data processing and analysis for mass spectrometry imaging.
abstract: Mass spectrometry imaging produces large numbers of spectra that need to be efficiently stored, processed, and analyzed. In this chapter, we describe the protocol and methods for data processing, visualization, and statistical analysis, with related techniques and tools available presented. Examples are given with data collected for a 3D MS imaging of a mouse brain and 2D MS imaging of human bladder tissues.
