AdiFind is research software for adipocyte measurement and tumor-adjacent adipose analysis on whole-slide histology images. Pre-release example results are available below and can be reviewed in QuPath. More information about AdiFind will be released soon. For questions or collaboration, please contact Martin Eide Lien at martin [dot] lien [at] uib [dot] no.

Annotated whole-slide output

AdiFind produces annotated whole-slide TIFF overlays with optional adipocyte IDs, tissue-detection and tissue-mask previews, QuPath-ready GeoJSON annotations, adipocyte-level CSV measurements, and summary statistics for downstream review and integration.

Processing flow

Whole-slide image pyramid

AdiFind moves between whole-slide context and full-resolution adipocyte analysis using a multi-resolution image pyramid.

Downscaled 1X overview

AdiFind uses a downscaled 1X overview for tumour detection and tissue guidance before high-resolution analysis.

Full-resolution preprocessing

AdiFind preprocesses full-resolution tissue windows to enhance adipocyte boundaries before detection.

Sliding-window inference

AdiFind performs sliding-window inference across guided tissue regions and reconcile overlapping detections.

Features

Desktop interface for configuring and running analysis.

User friendly interface

Configure analysis settings, and run the AdiFind processing workflow from a user friendly interface.

Region of interest support

Limit analysis to the tissue region you want to measure.

Draw an ROI for analysis

Define a freehand or polygonal region of interest to restrict analysis to a selected tissue area.

Annotated AdiFind output for the selected ROI.

Inspect ROI results

Review the adipocyte annotations generated within the selected region of interest.

AdiFind masks and StarDist nuclei segmentation in QuPath.

AdiFind integrates easily with existing QuPath based analyses & workflows

Light green masks show AdiFind adipocyte results, while red dots show StarDist nuclei segmentation, demonstrating how AdiFind outputs can be used directly alongside existing QuPath workflows.
