fScan is a C program developed primarily for processing and visualization of fMRI scans. It has both a graphical user interface (GUI) for interactive processing and visualization as well as a command-line interface for scripting and batch processing.

Features include:
  * fast, flexible access to image data (in a wide variety of file formats)
  * sophisticated visualization and image manipulation tools
  * 3-D workspace organization for keeping track of multiple resolution/orientation images of the same subject
  * support for 2 workspaces simultaneously to compare different sessions, or subject and atlas
  * native versions available for Linux or Windows, as well as X-windows support for Apple Macs 
  * interoperability with other image analysis software
  * image and/or temporal filtering operations (e.g. reformatting, noise filtering, etc.)
  * statistical image processing operations (e.g. activation maps, region-of-interest statistics, etc.)
  * automated tissue segmentation and 3-D surface reconstructions (Voyvodic et al., 2004).
  * real-time fMRI analysis capabilities
  * on-line documentation and simple installation/updating tools

fScan was written by Jim Voyvodic. Version 1 was created at the Univerity of Pittsburgh.\\
Version 2 (the current version) is a completely rewritten implementation developed at Duke University.
