Mouse BIRN Atlasing Toolkit Information

Description
Reference biological/biomedical imagery is critically important for providing context for observations and experimentation. MBAT empowers researchers to discover correlations among disparate data by providing a unified environment for bringing together online reference resources, a user’s image data, and biological atlases into the same spatial or semantic context. Through its extensible plug-in architecture, MBAT allows researchers to customize all platform components to quickly achieve personalized workflows.
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.
