Keeping Track Of Brain Change With Nerve Cell Software
Brain research had a boost on 14 October as CSIRO launched in the United States its HCA-Vision nerve cell analysis software at Neuroscience 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, the world's largest conference for brain researchers.
HCA-Vision is based on a proprietary mathematical method, patented by Australia's CSIRO, for automatically tracing and measuring lines in complex images.
With up to 40,000 delegates, the conference is an ideal focus for the software's international launch.
Dr Pascal Vallotton, Leader of Biotech Imaging at CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences says there are few images more complex than the intricate, web-like branches of nerve cells photographed down a microscope.
HCA-Vision allows researchers to reliably measure significant features of cells' appearance as they change in response to drugs, bioche "Benchmarking studies have shown that the software can do this one hundred times faster than a person using manual tracing methods can," said Dr Vallotton.
"This improvement will speed the progress of brain research - research which is becoming increasingly urgent in a world where tens of millions of people suffer neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's", he said.
HCA-Vision was developed by CSIRO's Biotech Imaging team who built on mathematical software code libraries from many years' of image analysis research and added a user-friendly, database-supported interface.
"We're working with a leading Australian brain research institute to thoroughly validate HCA-Vision. The results will be reported in scientific journals in the near future", said Dr Vallotton.
A version of the software for 3D images is under development and will provide 'another dimension' of detail for researchers about nerve cell change. 认领阿 Keeping Track Of Brain Change With Nerve Cell Software

10月14日，在美国佐治亚州的亚特兰大举办的世界最大的脑研究会议--神经科学2006 上发布的由CSIRO设计的HCA-Vision神经细胞分析软件，揭示了脑研究有了一个重大突破
HCA-Vision is based on a proprietary mathematical method, patented by Australia's CSIRO, for automatically tracing and measuring lines in complex images.
HCA-Vision基于一种专有的精确方法，这种方法能够自动追踪和测量复杂的影像，由澳大利亚的CSIRO拥有其专利。
With up to 40,000 delegates, the conference is an ideal focus for the software's international launch.
与会代表达到了4万人，因此这次会议非常适合此软件的国际发布。
Dr Pascal Vallotton, Leader of Biotech Imaging at CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences says there are few images more complex than the intricate, web-like branches of nerve cells photographed down a microscope.
Pascal Vallotton博士是CSIRO数学信息科学生物技术成像小组的领导者，他说，显微镜下拍摄的神经细胞非常有着错踪复杂的网状分支，没有什么影像比这个更加复杂了。
HCA-Vision allows researchers to reliably measure significant features of cells' appearance as they change in response to drugs, bioche "Benchmarking studies have shown that the software can do this one hundred times faster than a person using manual tracing methods can," said Dr Vallotton.
HCA-Vision能够使研究者可靠的测量给药前后细胞形态变化的显著特征，公司方面的研究已经表明它的分析速度比单人人工分析要快一百倍，Vallotton说。
"This improvement will speed the progress of brain research - research which is becoming increasingly urgent in a world where tens of millions of people suffer neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's", he said.
这项技术将加速脑研究的发展。脑研究已经变得越来越紧迫，因为世界上数千万人正在受着神经退行性疾病，比如老年痴呆症和帕金森氏症的折磨。
HCA-Vision was developed by CSIRO's Biotech Imaging team who built on mathematical software code libraries from many years' of image analysis research and added a user-friendly, database-supported interface.
CSIRO生物技术成像小组开发的HCA-Vision建立于多年成像分析研究收集成的数学软件代码库并具有数据库支持的用户友好界面。
"We're working with a leading Australian brain research institute to thoroughly validate HCA-Vision. The results will be reported in scientific journals in the near future", said Dr Vallotton.
