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. The first – ilastik - allows the extraction of labelled features such as cells by segmentation. The second – QuickNII - generates atlas maps customised to match the proportions and cutting plane of the brain sections. The third – Nutil – enables quantification and spatial analysis of features by drawing on the output of ilastik and QuickNII. 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.
