Reads measurement exports of image-analysis tools such as ''QuPath'' and ''MCMICRO'' into this format, validates its structure and content, selects one signal per marker through an explicit policy, and writes directories with a ''SHA-256'' checksum manifest so that later analysis steps can verify what they read. ''QuPath'' is described by Bankhead et al. (2017) and ''MCMICRO'' by Schapiro et al. (2022) .' authors: - family-names: Heller given-names: R. email: raban.heller@uni-ulm.de orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8006-9742 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'cellspecR: Read, Validate and Store Multiplexed Imaging Cell Tables' authors: - family-names: Heller given-names: R. orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8006-9742 email: raban.heller@uni-ulm.de year: '2026' notes: R package version 1.1.0 url: https://github.com/CTTIR/cellspecR repository: https://cttir.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/CTTIR/cellspecR commit: bd940f1baf937cd6a78f8741193ac419d34c712b url: https://cttir.github.io/cellspecR/ date-released: '2026-10-29' contact: - family-names: Heller given-names: R. email: raban.heller@uni-ulm.de orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8006-9742
