Visage Imaging to showcase live demonstrations of its 3D/4D visualization software framework amira® at Neuroscience 2007. Demonstrations will feature highly advanced tools and techniques for neuroscience applications. Visage Imaging has announced that it will highlight key features of the newest version of amira® with real-time, interactive demonstrations at Neuroscience 2007, to be held November 3 - 7 at the San Diego Convention Center.

Visage Imaging’s software framework, amira is the market-leading solution for visualizing, manipulating, and analyzing complex 3D and 4D data sets in biomedical research.

Visage Imaging is fine-tuning a major new release of amira that is dedicated to Life Sciences applications, and will highlight some of the advanced features for neuroscience applications such as advanced tools for neuron and vessel tracing, automatic skeletonization, visualization and statistical analysis of vascular and dendritic tree structures, as well as improved powerful segmentation tools.

Visage Imaging will also highlight other cutting-edge visualization and analysis techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).

“We use amira as the main visualization and analysis tool for our 4D microscopy images in neuroscience,” said Dr. Peter Robin Hiesinger, Assistant Professor at the UT Southwestern Medical Center, Department of Physiology, Dallas, Texas. “amira offers very high performance in multidimensional data management and visualization.

"Its segmentation tools are excellent, and the real-time volume rendering and deconvolution modules are extremely useful. amira is now my favorite 4D visualization software,” he added.

Because of the rapid developments in the microscopy market, the next release of amira will also introduce several additional microscopy format readers, as well as greatly enhanced DICOM export capabilities.

“amira enables researchers in the medical and biomedical field to push the limits of what is possible today; and to visualize structures and processes that no one has ever seen before,” said Marcelo G. Lima, President of Visage Imaging. “We invite amira users to join our community of Visioneers, and work with us to design the tools and applications of the future.”
