BioImage Suite 2.6 beta 1 has been released Posted By: Alark Joshi - Jul 16, 2008Tool/Resource: BioImage Suite --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioImage Suite 2.6 is an update of version 2.5 released in January 2008. The main features of this release are: * Lots of little improvements and bug fixes including improved NIFTI format handling for better data interexchange with other software. * First release of the complete BioImage Suite manual in both pdf (325 pages) and html formats. See http://bioimagesuite.org/public/Intro.ht... and http://bioimagesuite.org/doc/. * Inclusion of Broadmann Areas atlas defined on the MNI T1 Template (Colin 27) Brain at 1 mm resolution. This work was presented in HBM 08. * Improved Objectmap Editing tool with new objectmap regularization option to smooth manually defined regions. This was used in the creation of the Broadmann Areas atlas. * New optimized fMRI GLM Tool for single subject fMRI analysis -- this complements already available multisubject analysis tools. This includes a user-friendly graphical user interface for defining activation tasks/blocks. Ability to leverage AFNI for single subject GLM analysis in addition to internal code (results are identical). * New Manual Registration Tool which complements existing automated linear and nonlinear methods already available. * Substantially improved Colormap Editor with additional presets and graphical transfer function editing. The resulting improvements are particularly useful for obtaining optimal volume rendering displays. * New Diff-SPECT tool for detecting statistically significant blood flow changes between ictal and interictal SPECT in Epilepsy. * Improved "bookmark" tools for marking favorite images/directories and setup files in various viewers and controls. * Revamp of build system to make it more standards compliant. Update to CMake 2.4.x. A user should now be able to install from source using simply "make install". BioImage Suite should also compile with CMake 2.6 * Packages on Linux/Mac OS X are now in .sh format (built with CPack) * Improved integration with the Windows shell with the ability to automatically detect and execute the appropriate version of VTK when a .tcl script is invoked (either on the console or via double-clicking). This is in preparation for the peaceful coexistence of BioImage Suite 2.x (based on VTK 4.4) with the upcoming BioImage Suite 3.0 (based on VTK 5.2).
