VesselVio
VesselVio performs quantitative analysis and visualization of segmented vasculature datasets to characterize vascular network structure in 2D and 3D biological imaging data.
Key Features:
- Segmentation input support: Accepts pre-binarized vasculature datasets for downstream analysis and visualization.
- Vascular graph input: Loads pre-constructed vascular graphs for network-based measurements.
- Annotation handling: Supports importing datasets with annotations for region- or label-specific analyses.
- Customizable processing parameters: Provides adjustable analysis parameters to tailor measurements to specific datasets.
- 2D and 3D format support: Handles multiple file formats of both 2D and 3D vasculature imaging data.
- Validation capability: Has been evaluated against ground-truth datasets to assess reliability and accuracy.
- Visualization: Produces visual representations of vascular networks to aid structural interpretation.
Scientific Applications:
- Vascular network quantification: Measurement of network topology and morphology from segmented vasculature data.
- Annotated whole-brain analysis: Analysis of annotated mouse whole-brain vasculature volumes for region-specific studies.
- Benchmarking and validation: Comparative evaluation of vascular analysis outputs against ground-truth datasets.
- Structural visualization: Visual analysis of vascular architecture in 2D and 3D imaging studies.
Methodology:
Loads pre-binarized vasculature datasets and pre-constructed vascular graphs with annotations, applies user-specified processing parameters, supports multiple 2D and 3D file formats, and evaluates outputs against ground-truth datasets.
