Visualize your imaging data and obtain qualitative and quantitative information such as volume, density and diameter, from a single software environment.
Anatomical image analysis relies on augmenting structural information from micro-CT or MRI systems with functional data from PET, SPECT or optical imaging instrumentation. Analysis of novel drug candidates requires pinpointing the location of dynamic processes acquired with functional modalities in images of the animal’s anatomy from structural modalities over time.
Amira Software enables the fusion of any type of anatomical image data. Co-registered images can be segmented and analyzed using Amira Software’s vast library of image analysis filters and algorithms. Image segmentation and quantification workflows can be applied to entire time series of image data of dynamic processes. With Amira Software’s professional-grade visualization tools, structural information from CT and MRI can be augmented and rendered jointly with segmentation results and functional images to create visualization of physiological processes that reveal the underlying mechanisms in an intuitive animation.

VetCore, University of Veterinary Medicine uses Amira Software
"Research at Vetmeduni Vienna is quite diverse, covering both clinical and preclinical research areas. We are currently four people working in the imaging facility, providing equipment and supports for researchers in both image acquisition (widefield microscopy, CLSM, spinning disk confocal microscopy, soon also STORM super-resolution microscopy, microscopic X-ray computed tomography) and in data visualization and analysis. Amira Software allows you to build networks, enabling complex interactions between data objects. Biology is also complex, and biological interactions are complex networks. Complex questions require complex tools to address them. In this respect, analysis networks such as used in Amira Software outperform most other software approaches when it comes to complex data analysis. Furthermore, I like that Amira Software is quite open concerning integration of deep learning networks and scripting (Tcl, Matlab, Python,...)."

Understanding the complexity of cancer with correlative light electron microscopy and Amira Software
Co-registration
One of the main reasons researchers are using preclinical imaging is in vivo distribution studies aimed at localizing therapeutic agents in drug or gene therapy. These agents are often tagged or made susceptible for tagging with radioactive nuclei for detection with PET or SPECT imaging instruments.
With its extensive, performance-optimized registration tools and its multi-volume architecture, Amira Software allows preclinical researchers to automatically co-register image data from any type of preclinical imaging instrumentation. Amira Software’s extensive toolbox of segmentation and quantification tools then allows for segmentation of the anatomical images and quantifying radiotracer uptake in the co-registered functional images.
Bone separation
Micro-CT image acquisition is one of the most popular imaging techniques for any type of bone research. One of the first steps for any bone analysis is bone segmentation and separation into individual bones.
Amira Software offers the tools to perform bone segmentation from the surrounding tissue. The segmented bones can then be separated with Amira Software’s advanced algorithms. The individual bones can then be measured using a customizable list of the many measurements that Amira Software provides, such as size, shape and orientation.
Cell detection
Cellular spheroids are 3D cell cultures that represent in vivo tissue better than traditional cellular monolayers, improving the ability of researchers to study cancer, diabetes mellitus, or stem cells among many applications.
However, cell analysis in such 3D multicellular objects is not accurately possible, especially without destroying the object of study. Amira Software can automatically separate the cells and perform volumetric, morphometric, and intensity measurements on individual cells and their nuclei in 3D image data of these spheroids. Amira Software also helps researchers with the analysis of conventional 2D cellular monolayers.
Correlative imaging
With its long-standing applications in multi-modality imaging techniques, Amira Software is the tool of choice for many researchers working with data from different imaging modalities. Amira Software’s architecture supports multi-volume data processing and visualization from the ground up.
The automatic registration tools integrated into the standard edition of Amira Software with the Multi-Planar Workroom offer the flexibility of the most commonly used automated registration metrics and optimizers. These allow for the adjustment of the registration parameters to meet the needs of your data.
Membrane detection
Amira Software accelerates segmentation by employing automated detection of cellular features, such as filaments and membranes.
By performing advanced image analysis and statistics on the cryo-tomograms, Amira Software combines data from these individual structures, averaging out noise and increasing contrast to create a composite model with higher resolution.
