Matlab

See LearningMatlab for how to learn and use matlab.

Matlab runs on all the unit imaging Linux machines as well as our Solaris machine, navi (see CbuComputingResources).

Linux machines l02-l07 run Matlab 6; machines l08-l13 Matlab 7.

Imaging analysis packages

SPM toolboxes

Other imaging software

  • [:UsingAnalyze:AnalyzeAVW] - a comprehensive commercial program for viewing neuroimaging data. Particularly useful for rendering. At the CBU, it will only run on the Solaris machines, if atall. Please contact MatthewBrett if you need this program.

  • Chris Rorden's [:MriCro:MRIcro] - start with startmricro on the Linux machines.

  • Krish Singh's [http://www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk/staff/cr1/mri3dtut.html mri3d] - an excellent display tool, particularly for rendering of results onto brain surfaces.

  • [http://www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk/staff/cr1/dicom.html freeware DICOM viewer and information], again for Windows, again by Chris Rorden

  • ImageViewer - a simple matlab image viewer - now very old

  • [:Ana4Dto3D:ana4dto3d] - a tiny command line utility to convert Analyze 4D files to a series of 3D files, as well as byte swapping as required
  • [http://pvconv.sourceforge.net pvconv] - a perl command line utility to convert [:FormatBruker:Bruker data format] to [:FormatAnalyze:Analyze image format]

  • [http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl FSL] - the Oxford FMRIB software library for analyzing functional MRI and diffusion images.

  • See also [:ReadingOnlineDocs:Software and help on reading documents online] - such as Adobe Acrobat for pdf files and Ghostview for reading postcript (.ps) files.

Other general interest software available on the unit Linux machines

  • gimp - Graphics viewing and editing program; the Linux version of Photoshop
  • acrobat - PDF viewer.
  • mozilla - web browser
  • nedit, emacs - text editors
  • kghostview - ps / psf / eps viewer useful for SPM postscript files
