de Senneville et al. demonstrate an integrated workflow combining 3D imaging, manual and machine learning-based semi-automatic segmentation, mathematics and infographics to study the spatial organization of patient-derived hepatoblastoma xenograft tissues. Their approach potentially assists investigations of this childhood liver tumour and other types of tumour tissues.
