How Analyze was Used
“Investigations were performed using anonymised and randomised image data sets. The observers were blinded to age and breed of cat. Patency or fusion of cranial sutures and synchondroses was assessed using the ANALYZE software package. Window levels, window widths and magnification were adjusted as needed in order to optimise visualisation of bone. The following cranial growth centres were examined: sagittal (S1), interfrontal (metopic; S2), left and right fronto-parietal (coronal; S3/S4) sutures, and left and right lambdoid sutures (S5/6), as well as intersphenoidal synchondrosis (S7), spheno-occipital synchondrosis (S8) and spheno-ethmoid synchondrosis (S9). Each suture and synchondrosis was examined in both 2D MCT slices in orthogonal views and on the surface of the 3D skull models.”
