The high dimensional and complex nature of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data poses challenges to downstream analyses. Here the authors show an application of artificial intelligence in mining MSI data revealing biologically relevant metabolomic and proteomic information from data acquired on different mass spectrometry platforms.
