An algorithm for the Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation, which estimates a reference standard and segmentation generator performance from a set of segmentations. It has been widely applied for the validation of image segmentation algorithms, and to compare the performance of different algorithms and experts. It has also found application in the identification of a consensus segmentation, by combination of the output of a group of segmentation algorithms, and for segmentation by registration and template fusion., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

http://nipy.org/nipype/

A package for writing fMRI analysis pipelines and interfacing with external analysis packages (SPM, FSL, AFNI). Current neuroimaging software offer users an incredible opportunity to analyze their data in different ways, with different underlying assumptions. However, this has resulted in a heterogeneous collection of specialized applications without transparent interoperability or a uniform operating interface. Nipype, an open-source, community-developed initiative under the umbrella of Nipy, is a Python project that solves these issues by providing a uniform interface to existing neuroimaging software and by facilitating interaction between these packages within a single workflow. Nipype provides an environment that encourages interactive exploration of algorithms from different packages (e.g., SPM, FSL), eases the design of workflows within and between packages, and reduces the learning curve necessary to use different packages. Nipype is creating a collaborative platform for neuroimaging software development in a high-level language and addressing limitations of existing pipeline systems.

http://mcx.sf.net/mmc/

A Monte Carlo (MC) solver for photon migration in 3D turbid media. Different from existing MC software designed for layered (such as MCML) or voxel-based media (such as MMC or tMCimg), MMC can represent a complex domain using a tetrahedral mesh. This not only greatly improves the accuracy of the solutions when modeling objects with smooth/complex boundaries, but also gives an efficient way to sample the problem domain to use less memory. The current version of MMC support multi-threaded programming and can give a almost proportional speed-up when using multiple CPU cores.

http://iso2mesh.sourceforge.net/

A Matlab / Octave-based mesh generation toolbox designed for easy creation of high quality surface and tetrahedral meshes from 3D volumetric images. It contains a rich set of mesh processing scripts/programs, functioning independently or interfacing with external free meshing utilities. Iso2mesh toolbox can operate directly on 3D binary, segmented or gray-scale images, such as those from MRI or CT scans, making it particularly suitable for multi-modality medical imaging data analysis or multi-physics modeling.

http://www.unc.edu/~yunmli/MaCH-Admix/

A genotype imputation software that is an extension to MaCH for faster and more flexible imputaiton, especially in admixed populations. It has incorporated a novel piecewise reference selection method to create reference panels tailored for target individual(s). This reference selection method generates better imputation quality in shorter running time. MaCH-Admix also separates model parameter estimation from imputation. The separation allows users to perform imputation with standard reference panels + pre-calibrated parameters in a data independent fashion. Alternatively, if one works with study-specific reference panels, or isolated target population, one has the option to simultaneously estimate these model parameters while performing imputation. MaCH-Admix has included many other useful options and supports VCF input files. All existing MaCH documentation applies to MaCH-Admix.

Simple and efficient, this application performs the Weighted False Discovery Rate procedure of Benjamini and Hochberg (1997) to correct for multiple testing. The good think is that you can test virtually any number of p-values (even millions) obtained with any test-statistics for any data set. The bonus is that you can assign a-priori weights to give a better chance to those variables that you deem important. In practice, this procedure is powerful only with a relatively small number of p-values.

http://www.nitrc.org/projects/se_linux/

Software tools optimized for performing univariate and multivariate imaging genetics analyses while providing practical correction strategies for multiple testing. The goal of this project is to merge two important research directions in modern science, genetics and neuroimaging. This entails combining modern statistical genetic methods and quantitative phenotyping performed with high dimensional neuroimaging modalities. So far, however, standard imaging tools are unable to deal with large-scale genetics data, and standard genetics tools, in turn, are unable to accommodate large size and binary format of the image data. Their focus is to create imaging genetics tools for classical genetic and epigenetic epidemiological analyses such as heritability, pleiotropy, quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association (GWAS), gene expression, and methylation analyses optimized for traits derived from structural and functional brain imaging data
