Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) is an explorative scan technique to analyze chemical compounds within biological tissues. It uses laser beams at multiple (x,y)-coordinates to ionize the molecules at those grid points and measure their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio. This results in very large data cubes with dimensions x, y, and m/z. Nowadays, the data occupies already tens of gigabytes of memory, and with increasing resolution of the scan ...
