5 | |||
6 | 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: | ||
7 | |||
8 | 1. [[(% style="color:#2980b9" %)//ilastik//>>doc:.3\. Image segmentation with ilastik.WebHome]](%%) allows the extraction of labelled features such as cells by segmentation. | ||
9 | 1. [[(% style="color:#2980b9" %)//QuickNII//>>doc:.Image registration to reference atlas using QuickNII.WebHome]](%%) generates atlas maps customised to match the proportions and cutting plane of the brain sections. | ||
10 | 1. (% style="color:#2980b9" %)Nutil(%%) enables image [[transformations>>doc:.1\. Preparing the images.WebHome]], in addition to [[quantification and spatial analysis>>doc:.4\. Quantification and spatial analysis with Nutil.WebHome]] of features by drawing on the output of ilastik and QuickNII. | ||
11 | |||
12 | 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. | ||

18 | * The QUINT workflow is semi-automated, combining three open-source software that can be operated without scripting knowledge. | ||
19 | |||
20 | ((( | ||
21 | * As the quantifications are performed in regions defined by a reference atlas, the region definitions are standardized, allowing comparisons of data from different laboratories. | ||
