16 | The QUINT workflow enables the quantification and spatial analysis of labelled features in histological images of rodent brain sections based on reference atlases of the brain. It utilises three open-source software: | ||
17 | |||
18 | 1. (% style="color:#2980b9" %)//**ilastik**//(%%) allows the extraction of labelled features such as cells by segmentation. | ||
19 | 1. (% style="color:#2980b9" %)**//QuickNII//**(%%) generates atlas maps customised to match the proportions and cutting plane of the brain sections. | ||
20 | 1. (% style="color:#2980b9" %)**//Nutil//**(%%) enables image transformations, in addition to quantification and spatial analysis of features by drawing on the output of ilastik and QuickNII. | ||
21 | |||
22 | In combination, the tools facilitate semi-automated quantification, eliminating the need for more time consuming methods such as stereological analysis with manual delineation of brain regions. | ||
