| Review 3 of BioImage Suite on Aug 28, 2008 |
| Overall Ease vs. Functionality: |  |
| Download/Installation Ease: | |
| Documentation/Support Quality: | |
| Ratings/Long-term Prospects Comments: | Overall -- The tool is well documented and clearly states what it can and cannot do. The Bioimagesuite manual is a very good resource and the authors seem to have spent a considerable amount of effort in documenting its functionalities. Installation -- The installation is extremely easy and works very well. I've used it primarily on windows and it has worked perfectly since I installed it. Documentation -- The documentation available was much more than I had expected. The authors have provided a pdf and html version for easy browsing. Long-term -- This tool has great long term prospects since they seem to constantly add functionality that is useful to the fMRI community. The authors need to make the tool a bit more streamlined and help users do what they intend to do. Feature Requests -- I think the user interface caters to a wide variety of their users and so making easy to use based on the need of the user might be one thing to consider. |
| Other Comments/Similar Tools: | Similar Tool/Resource -- I have used Slicer in the past, but I prefer Bioimagesuite's focused approach better. We have also used AFNI and continue to use it for some other methods. |
