About BrainCSI
The BrainCSI (Brain Chemical Shift Imaging) tool is a stand alone graphic user interface (GUI) for the purposes of analyzing Magnetic Resonance Spectroscropic (MRS) data. MRS data provides brain metabolite concentration information valuable in researching psychaitric and neurological disorders. BrainCSI imports the results from the software package LCModel which gives metabolite concentration estimates from the MRS data. BrainCSI registers MRS data (single or multi-voxel studies) with anatomical MRI images and uses the underlying brain anatomy to make corrections to the metabolite concentrations and provide absolute concentrations of metabolites.
Development Road Map
The development goals for future BrainCSI releases are laid out in the Road Map. While the developers have a vision for what BrainCSI will be, we will constantly adjust this road map based on user needs. Please contact the developers to express which features you would like to see in a future release.
Installing BrainCSI
To install an alpha release of BrainCSI, follow these instructions. BrainCSI can be install on Windows, Mac, or Linux platforms.
Building BrainCSI
Building BrainCSI depends on ITK, VTK, KWWidgets, and Tcl/Tk. These instructions assume familiarity with CMake. When building each of the 4 libraries that BrainCSI depends upon, it is important to use the same settings for each (i.e. Debug or Release Mode). Detailed Instructions are here.
