Abstract:

We developed two software tools, Automatic Brain Sulcal Detection Tool and Conformal Spherical Analysis Tool. The goal of the tools is to provide some convenient research tools to analyze anatomical surfaces with conformal technology. Specifically, automatic brain sulcal detection tool detects brain sulcal landmark on cortical surfaces by solving a partial differential equation and a variational problem. Conformal spherical analysis tool is aimed to analysis the frequency domain of brain cortical and hippocampal surface shape. Both software tools were demonstrated in CCB Software Development Meeting on CCB All Hands Meeting. Among them, conformal spherical analysis tool won “the best visualization software” award in CCB software competition. The figure below demonstrates some results of conformal spherical analysis tool.
