A previous version of the software, BRAINS2, is available for Linux and Mac OS X operating systems. This new version of the software is still beta and can be obtained from the NITRC website. We are currently fully integrating this tool with ITK.
Recently an automated image processing pipeline has been developed that is able to take images from the MRI scanner and perform the following steps automatically: anatomical AC-PC alignment, bias field correction, signal intensity normalization, tissue classification, brain extraction, regional labeling, and measurements. Currently, the software supports 37 active projects at the University of Iowa, 46 projects from outside institutions, and has been downloaded by over 350 groups. Large neuroimaging studies at the University of Iowa have both driven the development of BRAINS and provided a means to validate its results and user processes.
The methods and underlying tools are often referenced as state of the art. The BRAINS software comprises a set of reliable and validated tools for analyzing large neuroimaging studies. The BRAINS (Brain Research: Analysis of Images, Networks, and Systems) image analysis software has been in continuous, evolutionary development at The University of Iowa for over fifteen years. Below you will find a more detailed description of the software used at the MRRF. The MRRF also possesses advanced software for fMR Imaging, complete with E-Prime, Presentation, and PyschoPy software. In addition, we have an server outfitted for GE pulse sequence EPIC development. The MR Research Facility is outfitted with a number of image analysis tools, including FSL, AFNI, Slicer3, ImageJ and BRAINS.
