| 110 | +## π― Recommended Workflow |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### For Most Users (SHG/Fluorescence) |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +1. **Load image** in Napari |
| 115 | +2. **Segmentation tab**: |
| 116 | + - Threshold-based: Instant, works great |
| 117 | + - Cellpose: Deep learning, excellent quality |
| 118 | +3. **Create ROIs** automatically |
| 119 | +4. **ROI Manager tab**: Analyze all ROIs |
| 120 | +5. **Export** results (CSV) and ROIs (Fiji) |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +### For High-Throughput |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +1. **Batch load** multiple images |
| 125 | +2. **Cellpose** segment all cells |
| 126 | +3. **Auto-generate** 100+ ROIs |
| 127 | +4. **Batch analyze** fiber alignment |
| 128 | +5. **Statistical analysis** on exported CSV |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### For TACS Analysis |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +1. Segment tumor boundary (Cellpose) |
| 133 | +2. Create inner/outer ROIs |
| 134 | +3. Analyze fiber alignment at different distances |
| 135 | +4. Quantify TACS-3 signatures |
| 136 | + |

| 143 | +conda create -n stardist312 python=3.12 -y |
| 144 | +conda activate stardist312 |
| 145 | +pip install stardist tensorflow |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +# Get path |
| 148 | +which python |
| 149 | +# Save: /Users/you/miniconda3/envs/stardist312/bin/python |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +# Use in code |
| 152 | +from napari_curvealign.segmentation import ( |
| 153 | + SegmentationMethod, SegmentationOptions, segment_image |
| 154 | +) |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +options = SegmentationOptions( |
| 157 | + method=SegmentationMethod.STARDIST, |
| 158 | + stardist_python_path="/Users/you/miniconda3/envs/stardist312/bin/python" |
| 159 | +) |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +labels = segment_image(nuclei_image, options) |
