| Review 2 of BRAINSTools on Jun 03, 2008 |
| Overall Ease vs. Functionality: |  |
| Download/Installation Ease: |  |
| Documentation/Support Quality: |  |
| Ratings/Long-term Prospects Comments: | Overall -- Really rather easy to build ITK projects wrapped in Tcl. Installation -- User needs to be careful what version of cmake is selected by the PATH environment variable directory list order. Succeeded when building on both MacOSX and Linux. Documentation -- Given that BRAINS is presently under development, the lack of a nailed down specification for the moving target is completely understandable. There is induced documentary knowledge from familiarity with ITK and with brains2, the predecessor of BRAINS. Long-term -- A sound, high-quality, scriptable structural imaging toolkit that plays well with Slicer3 and ITK data is a valuable project that will help with registering functional and diffusion-tensor images to the anatomical scan of each subject. It is also nice when scripting to work in a common vehicle for a variety of image operations. Feature Requests -- Needs a visualizer. Brains2 has one. Slicer3 has one. |
| Other Comments/Similar Tools: | Similar Tool/Resource -- brains2 Tool/Resource Transition -- ITK lacks a way to "split a mask". |
