Certain SRT and SRP technologies also capture corresponding morphology images, adding another layer of valuable information. However, few existing methods developed for SRT data effectively leverage these supplementary images to enhance clustering performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here, we introduce stDyer-image, an end-to-end deep learning framework designed for clustering for SRT and SRP datasets with images. Unlike existing methods that utilize images to complement gene expression data, stDyer-image directly links image features to cluster labels. This approach draws inspiration from pathologists, who can visually identify specific cell types or tumor regions from morphological images without relying on gene expression or protein abundances. Benchmarks against state-of-the-art tools demonstrate that stDyer-image achieves superior performance in clustering. Moreover, it is capable of handling large-scale datasets across diverse technologies, making it a versatile and powerful tool for spatial omics analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
