How Analyze was Used
“These areas were generated using a semi-automated method, by using an intensity thresholded map (Analyze 7.0…), in conjunction with manual input to differentiate VAT and SCAT compartments. In cases, where there was an artificial reduction in signal intensity due to artifacts in the MRI image, the thresholded map was corrected by using the auto trace facility within the Analyze software.”
