质谱成像（MS成像）的应用正在迅速增长，随着不同的不同仪器系统和软件工具的不断增加。开发了数据格式IMZML，以允许在不同仪器和数据分析软件之间灵活，有效地交换MS成像数据。 IMZML数据分为两个文件，这些文件由普遍唯一的标识符（UUID）链接。实验详细信息存储在基于HUPO-PSI格式MZML的XML文件中。信息以“受控词汇”（CV）的形式提供，以明确描述参数并避免命名法中的冗余。质谱数据存储在二进制文件中，以允许有效存储。 IMZML得到越来越多的软件工具的支持。用户将不再限于专有软件，而是能够使用最适合特定问题或应用程序的处理软件。来自不同仪器的MS成像数据可以转换为IMZML，并在一个软件包中使用相同的参数显示，以便于比较。实施IMZML和其他背景信息所需的所有技术细节均可在www.imzml.org..org..org..org..org..org..org..org..org..org.imzml.org。 （c）2012 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The application of mass spectrometry imaging (MS imaging) is rapidly growing with a constantly increasing number of different instrumental systems and software tools. The data format imzML was developed to allow the flexible and efficient exchange of MS imaging data between different instruments and data analysis software. imzML data is divided in two files which are linked by a universally unique identifier (UUID). Experimental details are stored in an XML file which is based on the HUPO-PSI format mzML. Information is provided in the form of a 'controlled vocabulary' (CV) in order to unequivocally describe the parameters and to avoid redundancy in nomenclature. Mass spectral data are stored in a binary file in order to allow efficient storage. imzML is supported by a growing number of software tools. Users will be no longer limited to proprietary software, but are able to use the processing software best suited for a specific question or application. MS imaging data from different instruments can be converted to imzML and displayed with identical parameters in one software package for easier comparison. All technical details necessary to implement imzML and additional background information is available at www.imzml.org.This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Imaging Mass Spectrometry: A User's Guide to a New Technique for Biological and Biomedical Research.
