Lab

The majority of the work done in my lab to analyze facial and brain phenotypes is based on medical images, including magnetic resonance images (MRIs) and micro-MRIs, computed tomography (CTs) and micro-computed tomography, as well as 3dMD images (3D stereophotogrammetric images). Image data are collected from infant, juvenile, and adult humans, non-human primates, and other animal models. We collect and analyze many types of 3D data in the lab, including volumetrics, surface area, 3D landmark coordinates, and linear measurements. Our analysis of these data requires use of specialized software. We currently use Amira, Analyze, MRIcro/ImageJ, and 3dMD in our data collection. These software packages are run on PC workstations in the laboratory with high-end processors and graphics cards.
