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.
