sharoncy 1.1 15
sharoncy 9.1 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:
sharoncy 1.1 17
sharoncy 12.1 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.

sharoncy 9.1 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.

sharoncy 14.1 32 As the quantifications are performed in regions defined by a reference atlas, the region definitions are standardized, allowing comparisons of data from different laboratories.
