BrainSuite is a magnetic resonance (MR) image analysis tool designed for identifying tissue types and surfaces in MR images of the human head. We have written the software with the goal of extracting a topologically spherical cortical surface from a raw MR volume within a matter of minutes, all while requiring minimal user interaction.

Features:

• Sophisticated visualization tools, such as MRI visualization in 3 orthogonal views (either separately or in 3D view), and overlaid surface visualization of cortex, skull, and scalp
• Cortical surface extraction, using a multi-stage user friendly approach. Tools include brain surface extraction, bias field correction, voxel classification, cerebellum removal, and surface generation
• Topological correction of cortical surfaces, which uses a graph-based approach to remove topological defects (handles and holes) and ensure a tessellation with spherical topology
• Parameterization of generated cortical surfaces, minimizing a harmonic energy functional in the p-norm
