PMOD includes several VOI atlases ready to be used for data analysis. Because the experimental images first have to be brought into the standard anatomy, each template consists of a normalization template and a matched VOI atlas.
Spatial Normalization
The spatial normalization can be done within the PMOD image fusion tool PFUS. There, a suitable reference image can selected from the menu as illustrated below.
Load Brain Template provides templates in the human MNI space for use with different modalities (PET, MRI), whereas the additional species templates can be loaded with Load User Template. After loading the reference, the user needs to load his own experimental images and perform a Brain Normalization processing.
VOI Template
On the resulting images, the corresponding VOI template can be applied for calculating regional statistics. It can be selected from the list of included templates as illustrated below.
