SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Custom developed image processing software
At CIPAC, we have a team of software developers dedicated to building custom applications that best fit the processing pipelines of each research project. Emphasis is made on designing and implementing tools that allow for the extraction of key image features, robust and reliable quantitative analysis and longitudinal (4D) and cross-sectional (3D) interactive image visualization and analysis. Below are a few of the software packages developed for specific programs, filling their analysis needs. For more information, please contact us.
Cerebra-WML
Cerebra-WML is a stand-alone custom application developed to perform quantitative analysis of white matter lesions (WML), based on the assumption that these lesions present as white-matter hyper-intensities in T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. Cerebra-WML is designed to lead the user through a workflow to detect and quantify WMLs while allowing a rapid and consistent evaluation of the MR images.
Cerebra-Perfusion
MR brain perfusion is a widely used imaging technique for quantitative analysis of cerebral microvascular hemodynamics. Cerebra-Perfusion is designed to create high-quality perfusion maps from T1-weighted dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) or T2*-weighted dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR images.
Cerebra-QSM
The Cerebra-QSM package provides tools for generating susceptibility maps from raw DICOM images and extracting region of interest statistics. The package includes a graphical user interface for processing and viewing data and a set of command line tools, which allow for batch processing data
Cerebra-CMB
Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) are MRI-defined small, rounded hypointense lesions that are commonly observed on susceptibility-weighted images (SWI). Cerebra-CMB offers a semi-automatic tool for quantification of CMBs.
