Techniques

Understanding the interconnectivity of the brain is essential for functional brain research. This allows researchers to better understand how different parts of the brain jointly orchestrate higher cognitive functions and motor skills.

With Amira Software, you are able to perform the entire DTI analysis workflow by first converting images into Talairach coordinates. You are then able to map multiple brain images onto a reference brain. Once the brain images are aligned, gradient images can be converted into a tensor field, and nerve fiber bundles can be tracked and visualized with our state-of-the-art visualization tools.

 

With Amira Software, you are able to trace, analyze, and quantify 3D images of filamentous structures such as neurons and blood vessels. Filamentous networks can be reconstructed, and measures such as length, thickness, orientation, ranks, etc., can be computed and visualized in compelling 3D renderings. Tracing can be performed automatically or interactively, depending on the application and needs.

Our template-matching algorithm allows automatic detection and tracing of fine filaments in noisy cryo-EM data. Amira Software also enables you to edit the resulting graphs to remove image features erroneously identified as a filament or to add missing parts of a network.

 

Brain perfusion studies help researchers and scientist to understand the impact of strokes or other brain tissue diseases such as Alzheimer and dementia. The exact location and duration of a stroke can determine functional impact of the event.

With Amira Software, you are able to analyze brain perfusion in perfusion-weighted MRI and CT images. This analysis includes computation of mean transit time (MTT), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and cerebral blood volume (CBV).

 

In vitro neuroscience research has grown considerably in neurodegenerative, neurogenesis, and neurotoxicology applications. Neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis are the gold standards for evaluating health and functionality of neurons. However, even in vitro, identification of neuronal outgrowth morphology is difficult.

Researchers manually tracing neurites and synaptogenic spots face variability and non-scalability. Amira Software’s three-dimensional neuroscience abilities can accurately and efficiently quantify neuronal morphology in 3D models to facilitate the high-throughput demands of this research.
