Improving Image Quality in 10× Visium Spatial Transcriptomics Using Vispro

10× Visium is a widely used spatial transcriptomics platform that enables joint profiling of gene expression and the spatial locations of cells. However, the histology images generated by the 10× Visium platform often contain technical artifacts, including fiducial markers and background noise, which degrade image quality. Here, we describe how a computational method, Vispro, can be applied to process and enhance these images. The resulting high-quality images lead to improved performance across a range of downstream analyses.
