15
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.

27 * The QUINT workflow is semi-automated, combining three open-source software that can be operated without scripting knowledge.
28 * (((
29 As the quantifications are performed in regions defined by a reference atlas, the region definitions are standardized, allowing comparisons of data from different laboratories.
