This page answers frequently asked questions and provides some useful tips and tricks in ADCI.

What does it mean when the software says 'some DC frequencies have poor quality. Do you want to continue ?'

This warning will show up during curve calibration or dose estimation, if the quality control fail for some samples. Quality control details are explained in [main:qualitycontrol] which can also be customized. When such a warning happens, users are encouraged to review their metaphase image data to see if there are excessive images of poor quality. If users are confident about their data or no better data can be obtained, users can ignore this warning.

Can I change the name of a saved sample file or the ID of a sample in ADCI

The ID of a sample is given by users when the sample is created. It cannot be changed after initialization. ADCI uses sample IDs to find contour files for samples and to reference samples in reports. The filenames of sample files (*.adcisample) can be changed arbitrarily. Changing its filename does not affect the sample ID saved in the file. When users are saving a sample to a file, ADCI will use the ID as the default filename.

Is there a way to view the optimal image selection models after it has been saved in the optimal model search and the search dialogue is closed

Yes. Users can specify the destination folder when they are saving a optimal image selection model found in the search. By default, it will be the same folder where the preset models are. If this is where the optimal models are saved, they can be viewed in the same way to view preset models which is demonstrated in [main:imageselectionmodel]. If the optimal models are save in a different folder, they need to be moved to the folder of preset models to be viewed.
