http://www.nesys.uio.no/Atlas3D/

A multi-platform visualization tool which allows import and visualization of 3-D atlas structures in combination with tomographic and histological image data. The tool allows visualization and analysis of the reconstructed atlas framework, surface modeling and rotation of selected structures, user-defined slicing at any chosen angle, and import of data produced by the user for merging with the atlas framework. Tomographic image data in NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) file format, VRML and PNG files can be imported and visualized within the atlas framework. XYZ coordinate lists are also supported. Atlases that are available with the tool include mouse brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Franklin (2001)) and rat brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Watson (2005)). Experimental data can be imported in Atlas3D and warped to atlas space, using manual linear registration, with the possibility to scale, rotate, and position the imported data. This facilitates assignment of location and comparative analysis of signal location in tomographic images.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/miva/

Software package that is a powerful graphical interface that displays, segments, aligns, manipulates, and blends image (pixel) and geometry (real-world coordinates) data simultaneously. Several applications are directly built into MIVA. Registration modes include interactive affine transformations. Fiducial registration tools facilitate rapid alignments for inter-modality volumes. Interactive Region of Interst (ROI) and Volume-of-Interest (VOI) tools exist to segment medical images. Virtually unique to MIVA are its 3D geometry tools and their compatibility with pixel based medical images. A full 3D interactive rat brain atlas is in an fMRI module which walks one through the necessary steps of fMRI. A multiple material surface routine takes segmented medical slices and creates 3D triangulated surfaces that align along all region boarders without overlap or gaps. These surfaces are the direct input into the MIVA tetrahedral mesh generator.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/mgdm/

An efficient level set framework for multi-object segmentation. Its representation inherently prevents overlaps and gaps and it readily preserves object topology and object relationships. MGDM is efficient, storing only a fixed number of functions for any number of objects, and therefore scales well to segmentation problems with many classes and large images. It's representation also avoids some instabilities in other multi-class level set methods. MGDM is cross-platform; MATLAB wrappers, Java source and API are provided, with MIPAV plugins forthcoming.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/sreps/

Software to fit s-reps to segmented anatomic objects, to compute probability distributions on these s-reps, to train and to apply classifiers between two classes of anatomic objects, and to apply hypothesis testing to determine which geometric or physiological features vary significantly between two classes. Software for object segmentation from medical images may also be included. S-reps are skeletal models for anatomic objects especially suited for computing probability distributions from populations of these objects and for providing object-related coordinates for the interior of these objects. They allow classification and hypothesis testing using their geometric features and physiological features derived from medical images. They also allow the definition of shape spaces, probability-based geometric typicality functions, and appearance models used for segmentation or registration. A variety of successful applications to objects in neuroimages have already been performed.

https://github.com/mjacquem/RodentThickness

An automatic cortical thickness measurement tool for rat brains. The pipeline consists of four steps: preprocessing to create binary mask and label map, thickness measurement which produces laplacian field and thickness map in order, run particle correspondence followed by statistical analysis resulting in mean thickness color map and t-test result. By running RodentThickness, you will need to fill in informations in a Graphical User Interface, and then compute. You can also run the tool in command line without using the GUI. Using the GUI, you will be able to save or load a dataset file or a configuration file. The tool needs these other tools to work, so be sure to have these installed on your computer: * ImageMath * measureThicknessFilter * GenParaMeshCLP * ParaToSPHARMMeshCLP * ShapeWorksRun * ShapeWorksGroom * SegPostProcessCLP * BinaryToDistanceMap * MeshPointsIntensitysampling
