sharoncy 9.1 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:
sharoncy 1.1 7
sharoncy 23.1 8 1. [[(% style="color:#2980b9" %)//ilastik//>>doc:.3\. Image segmentation with ilastik.WebHome]](%%) allows the extraction of labelled features such as cells by segmentation.
sharoncy 24.1 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.

sharoncy 9.1 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.

sharoncy 20.1 42 * The QUINT workflow is semi-automated, combining three open-source software that can be operated without scripting knowledge.
sharoncy 15.1 43
44 (((
sharoncy 20.1 45 * As the quantifications are performed in regions defined by a reference atlas, the region definitions are standardized, allowing comparisons of data from different laboratories.
