How Analyze was Used
“The first step in this procedure is to generate accurate bitmaps of the networks, which can be achieved by thresholding out the labelled structures, filtering for connectedness between adjacent positive voxels and applying image conditioning techniques to detect boundaries between the positively labelled strucrures and the surrounding tissues….We use the Analyze™ program … available commercially (AnalyzeDirect, Overland Park KS).”
