FAMIS: a software package for functional feature extraction from biomedical multidimensional images

Comput Med Imaging Graph. 1992 Mar-Apr;16(2):81-91. doi: 10.1016/0895-6111(92)90121-o.

Abstract

An increased number of image sequences is acquired in all modalities of the biomedical imaging field in order to study displacement or metabolism of a tracer or a contrast agent. It requires effective processing methods to estimate the underlying physiological components. We have developed a software package based on factor analysis algorithms which can adapt to various imaging modalities and its extension to double-indexed image sequences. We describe general characteristics of the software and present the main points of the user-friendly interface. The performances of the package are discussed and the possibilities of the methodology are illustrated using an example in magnetic resonance imaging.
