A large range of sophisticated brain image analysis tools have been developed by the neuroscience community, greatly advancing the field of human brain mapping. Here we introduce the Computational Anatomy Toolbox (CAT)-a powerful suite of tools for brain morphometric analyses with an intuitive graphical user interface but also usable as a shell script. CAT is suitable for beginners, casual users, experts, and developers alike, providing a comprehensive set of analysis options, workflows, and integrated pipelines. The available analysis streams-illustrated on an example dataset-allow for voxel-based, surface-based, and region-based morphometric analyses. Notably, CAT incorporates multiple quality control options and covers the entire analysis workflow, including the preprocessing of cross-sectional and longitudinal data, statistical analysis, and the visualization of results. The overarching aim of this article is to provide a complete description and evaluation of CAT while offering a citable standard for the neuroscience community.
神经科学界已经开发出了大量复杂的大脑图像分析工具,极大地推动了人类大脑图谱绘制领域的发展。在这里,我们将介绍计算解剖工具箱 (CAT) - 这是一套功能强大的大脑形态计量学分析工具,具有直观的图形用户界面,也可作为外壳脚本使用。CAT 适合初学者、休闲用户、专家和开发者,提供了一套全面的分析选项、工作流程和集成管道。可用的分析流程 - 以示例数据集为例 - 允许进行基于体素、基于表面和基于区域的形态计量学分析。值得注意的是,CAT 包含多个质量控制选项,并涵盖了整个分析工作流程,包括横截面和纵向数据的预处理、统计分析以及结果的可视化。本文的总体目标是提供 CAT 的完整描述和评估,同时为神经科学界提供一个可引用的标准。
