Status: In production
MBAT provides a workflow environment bringing together online resources, a user’s image data and biological atlases in a concise, unified and intuitive workspace. MBAT is written in java so it is platform independent and is extensible through its plugin architecture.
Features:
- MBAT is designed with a Search Workspace to enable users to submit a query to multiple databases simultaneously.
- The Registration Workspace performs 2D and 3D image alignment (spatial registration).
- The Viewer Workspace displays and composites images and image volumes using high performance graphics hardware.
- A major feature of the Viewer Workspace is the Atlas Viewer module; a generic volumetric atlas viewer. This module allows navigation and interrogation of volumetric atlases.
