TissueStack Features - 3

TissueStack has an interface to link additional anatomy metadata such as lobe and structure names to the image data being presented. This allows us to link labelled data and structure names to specific co-ordinates or areas. The eventual goal of this link is to allow the comparison of structures not only between two similar datasets but between species were there are homologous structures. A good example of this would be the hippocampal formation that exists in most higher order vertebrates.

The screen shots below show how the current interface to this works, it is possible to associate a particular area of a dataset with a label, this label data is displayed when the co-ordinate centre is overlaid on an area. In both of these the label data can be seen in the top left corner, a label (“yellow (hot)”, “middle of brain (spectral)”) is associated with a specific colormap and dataset.
