What is QIT?
QIT is a software package of computational tools for the modeling, analysis,
and visualization of scientific imaging data. It was specifically developed
for tractography and microstructure analysis of diffusion magnetic resonance
imaging datasets, but it has capabilities that are generally useful for other
imaging modalities as well. It supports many different data types, including
multi-channel volumetric datasets, multi-label masks, curves, triangle meshes,
geometric primitives, tabular data, and spatial transformations. QIT provides
an application called qitview for interactive 3D rendering and data analysis,
as well as, a suite of command line tools available through a program named
qit that provides a way to do batch processing and scripting. In addition,
QIT also provides ways to integrate of these tools into grid computing
environments and scientific workflows.
Who develops QIT?
QIT is designed, implemented, and supported by Ryan P. Cabeen, PhD as a software platform for neuroimaging research. You can learn more about research applications of QIT at https://cabeen.io. Development started in 2012 to support neuroimaging projects in the lab of David H. Laidlaw in the Department of Computer Science at Brown University. Currently, QIT is actively being developed and applied in the lab of Dr. Arthur Toga at the USC Laboratory of Neuro Imaging Resource.
This work has been supported by the Brown University Graduate Award in Brain Science, National Institutes of Health (grant number P41EB015922), and the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Scientist Program through grant number 2020-225670 from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative DAF, an advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
