aBEAT
aBEAT is a 4D Adult Brain Extraction and Analysis Toolbox with graphical user interfaces to segment, label and analyze 4D adult brain MR images.
Single-time-point images can also be analyzed. The software is developed by the IDEA group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
directed by Dr. Dinggang Shen (dinggang_shen@med.unc.edu).
Please refer to the aBEAT tutorial for the use of the software.

Portions of functions of the aBEAT software were implemented based on:
the FSL library developed by the Analysis Group, FMRIB, Oxford, UK;
the MINC package and ANLM tool developed by the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre of the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University;
the ITK toolkit from the Kitware Inc.
