Summary: Joint analysis of mass spectrometry images (MS images) and microscopy images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissues assists pathologists in characterizing the morphological structure of the tissues, and in performing diagnosis. Unfortunately, the analysis is undermined by substantial differences between these modalities in terms of aspect ratios, spatial resolution, number of channels in each image, as well as by large global or small local elastic spatial deformations of one image with respect to the other. Therefore, accurate coregistration of the images is a critical pre-requisite for their joint interpretation.
