Importing Populations from CSV

Mantis supports importing populations from CSVs. You can either select a CSV to import from when setting up a new project or you can select a CSV to import with the main menu. To import populations from the main menu, navigate to Import then Populations then For active image from CSV or For project from single CSV. Note that these menu item will be disabled unless segmentation data has been loaded for the currently active image.

When importing populations for a project Mantis expects a CSV file with no header. Each row should be of the format image_folder_name, segment_id, population_name. For example, here are a few rows from a valid project CSV file:

image_one,220,CD4 High Cells
image_one,707,CD4 High Cells
image_one,220,CD8 High Cells
image_two,77,CD8 High Cells
image_two,140,CD8 High Cells

When importing populations for a single image Mantis expects a similarly formatted CSV. The main difference is that image_folder_name is not included. Instead, each row should be of the format segment_id, population_name. For example, here are a few rows from a valid image CSV file:

220,CD4 High Cells
707,CD4 High Cells
220,CD8 High Cells
77,CD8 High Cells
140,CD8 High Cells
