Abstract
Systems and method for processing image data of an image to determine a signal quantification value for a signal of interest in the image data. The method includes identifying a first region of the image including a plurality of pixels, each pixel having a pixel intensity value, said first region including the signal of interest and a background signal component; determining, using the image data, a total number of discrete pixel intensity values for the plurality of pixels in the first region; calculating, for each discrete pixel intensity value, a total number of the pixels in the first region having that discrete pixel intensity value; determining a mean value of the background signal component based on the total number of pixels for each discrete pixel intensity value; and calculating a signal quantification value, for the signal of interest, that represents the signal of interest with the background signal component removed.
