Abstract
The need for quantitative image analysis, especially for MR images, is increasing because of the promising results in diagnosis and follow up of various clinical treatments. This document describes briefly a new software project targeted to computer aided diagnosis. The research focus has been in image segmentation, texture analysis, and volumetric analysis. The developed software enables boundary based segmentation algorithms, and provides interfaces for further analysis of the data. The software is based on two previously started software projects of our research group: Anatomatic+ and Segmentator. The new software has an intuitive user interface and is fast enough for use in medical scientific and practical work.
