Hi, Sharon,
First of all, thank you and your team for this wonderful workflow.
My PhD thesis is a morphometric study on rats with Alzheimer's
disease and using QUINT workflow in my study was very useful.
However, I would like to ask you about a few things that are on my
mind. Can I accept the Reference Region Area information given in
the Nutil output report as a morphometric area? My goal is to get
volumetric results from this data. For this, I will use the
stereology method in my study, but I wonder if this is correct.
For example, if we talk according to the table below; can I
consider the cortex area as 4772968 pixels? Also, even if I convert
units from pixels to mm2 during nutil quantifier, the
result is still 4772968. What should I do in this case?
Region name Region pixels Region area

Cortex 4772968 4.772.967.600.046
