Coordinate based Meta-Analysis

CBMA

NeuRoi can be used to perform coordinate based meta-analysis.

Measuring cervical spinal cord atrophy

NeuRoi can be used to measure upper cervical cord atrophy with a correction for partial volume. The function incorporated is detailed in:

Tench, CR, Morgan, PS and Constantinescu, CS (2005). "Measurement of cervical spinal cord cross-sectional area by MRI using edge detection and partial volume correction." J Magn Reson Imaging 21 (3): 197-203.

Diffusion tensor functions

NeuRoi can perform several DTI functions:

Convert diffusion weighted MRI to DTI
Convert DTI to scalars: FA, RA, TRACE, eigenvalues
Use tractography to extract specific fibre tracts, as detailed in Tench, CR, Morgan, PS, Wilson, M, et al. (2002). "White matter mapping using diffusion tensor MRI." Magn ResonMed 47 (5): 967-72.

Other functions

NeuRoi has several other functions to help analyse MRI images:

Image coregistration (6 parameter or include scale and shear parameters)
Reformat images (change voxel sizes etc.)
Image smoothing
Inhomogeneity reduction
Remove noisy background
Extracting the brain using a template
Fit T1 relaxation times to inversion recovery images
Compute MTR images
Histogram Equalisation
