Features

MBAT is designed with a Search Workspace to enable users to submit a query to multiple databases simultaneously.
The Registration Workspace performs 2D and 3D image alignment (spatial registration).
The Viewer Workspace displays and composites images and image volumes using high performance graphics hardware.
A major feature of the Viewer Workspace is the Atlas Viewer module; a generic volumetric atlas viewer. This module allows navigation and interrogation of volumetric atlases.
