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.
