Welcome to the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute! We are a new, interdisciplinary institute focused on research in biomaterials, smart medical devices, and biological/tissue-engineered constructs. Biomaterials are natural and synthetic substances designed to treat, augment, or replace tissues and organs of the human body as treatments to disease or injury. An outgrowth of the long-standing Biomaterials Group in the Biomedical and Chemical Engineering Department, the Syracuse Biomaterials Institute (SBI) was launched in Fall, 2007, through strategic investments by Syracuse University, New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), and private donations. SBI is a cohesive collection of highly collaborative faculty spanning eight (8) academic units, including faculty from SUNY Upstate Medical University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Our researchers are engaged in a wide spectrum of problems, ranging from fundamental studies of the biochemical and physical processes controlling cell functions to the development of new technologies for biomedical applications. In addition to our collaborative research and teaching activities, we are excited to be designing our future SBI home, planned for Fall 2009, that will collocate our research groups and central laboratory facilities. :jobs board, postdoctoral training program, graduate training program, portal :

XV is an interactive image manipulation program for the X Window System. It can operate on images in the GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PGM, PPM, XPM, X11 bitmap, Sun Rasterfile, Targa, RLE, RGB, BMP, PCX, FITS, and PM formats on all known types of X displays. It can generate PostScript files, and if you have ghostscript (version 2.6 or above) installed on your machine, it can also display them. XV allows users to: display an image on the root window, in a variety of styles; grab any rectangular portion of the screen and turn it into an image; arbitrarily stretch, compress, rotate or flip the image; view files as ASCII text or hexadecimal data; determine pixel values and x,y coordinates in the image; apply different gamma functions to the Red, Green, and Blue color components, to correct for non-linear color response; and run a number of image-processing algorithms on any rectangular portion of the image, among other functions.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. NIH tombstone webpage lists Project Period : 2009 - 2013. The NEMO ERP Analysis Toolkit includes tools for EEG/ERP and MEG data decomposition, and ontology-based mark-up, annotation, and labeling of patterns in EEG and MEG data. These tools have been implemented in MATLAB by Robert Frank, a mathematician and data analyst for NEMO. The current NEMO analysis pipeline has been designed with the aim to support cross-lab, cross-experiment meta-analysis of EEG and MEG data. The current proposed processing pipeline consists of the following steps: * Step 1: Decomposing ERP data (continuous data are transformed into discrete patterns for analysis) o PCA/ ICA/Microstate * Step 2: Marking up the analysis results o Each pattern is annotated with labels that relate pattern attributes to NEMO ontology concepts * Step 3: Clustering the observed patterns within and across experimental groups * Step 4: Labeling the cross-experiment clusters Each item in the above list is a step/phase in the processing pipeline and is associated with a set of matlab scripts in our NEMO ERP Analysis Toolkit, which is implemented by a collection of MATLAB scripts.

Web site last updated August 26, 1998 Automatic method for comparing different MRI datasets by visual inspection of equivalent anatomical planes. Implementation is based on multi-scale, three dimensional (3D) cross-correlation, to register a given volumetric data set to an average MRI brain (n > 300) aligned with the Talairach stereotaxic coordinate system. :

SigPath is a prototype of an information system for cell signaling pathways and networks. A primary emphasis of SigPath is that biochemical information can be stored both at the qualitative and quantitative levels. When information is stored quantitatively, SigPath can assist users in generating quantitative models that can be used to simulate how the concentrations of the molecules involved in a model change over time. For background, design goals, tutorials, and contact information, visit the SigPath Project Pages :Gs pathway, LSD_binds_serotonin 2AR, MAPK cascade, EGFR signaling and MAP kinase cascade, EGF receptors, mGluR activation :

:OsiriX is an image processing software dedicated to DICOM images (.dcm / .DCM extension) produced by medical equipment (MRI, CT, PET, PET-CT, ...) and confocal microscopy (LSM and BioRAD-PIC format). It can also read many other file formats: TIFF (8,16, 32 bits), JPEG, PDF, AVI, MPEG and Quicktime. It is fully compliant with the DICOM standard for image comunication and image file formats. OsiriX is able to receive images transferred by DICOM communication protocol from any PACS or medical imaging modality (STORE SCP - Service Class Provider, STORE SCU - Service Class User, and Query/Retrieve) . OsiriX has been specifically designed for navigation and visualization of multimodality and multidimensional images: 2D Viewer, 3D Viewer, 4D Viewer (3D series with temporal dimension, for example: Cardiac-CT) and 5D Viewer (3D series with temporal and functional dimensions, for example: Cardiac-PET-CT). The 3D Viewer offers all modern rendering modes: Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), Surface Rendering, Volume Rendering and Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP). All these modes support 4D data and are able to produce image fusion between two different series (for example: PET-CT). Osirix is at the same time a DICOM PACS workstation for medical imaging and an image processing software for medical research (radiology and nuclear imaging), functional imaging, 3D imaging, confocal microscopy and molecular imaging. :

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 15, 2013. A Java-based tool for managing and sharing MRI/DTI datasets, and related subject and protocol metadata. Data entry, data access, general query, reporting, analysis, and administrative operations occur through browser-based forms. NeuroServ works with a webserver (Tomcat) and a backend database (e.g., Postgres); a schema and over 40 forms are provided in the distribution. Support for DTI includes entry of multi-orientation raw DWI files, semi-automated normalization to the B0 image and quality filtering. Planned extensions include full DTI processing through image production and data sharing using the SSC incremental visiblity model.

We have several programs written for creating, viewing, and measuring MRI images of brains. PV-Wave is a very powerful programming language with a very simple syntax. We reuse code from one program to write a new program that does something slightly different. This only takes us a few hours. If we used another language, like C++, our program turn around time would be days instead of hours.

:iiV is an interactive brain imaging data display tool written in Java. It displays 3-D data set as slices perpendicular to the 3 major axis. Individual slice voxels are mapped thru a linear scaling, threshold and color table to displayable pixel values. Any number of slices from any number of data files may be arranged, annotated, overlaid, cropped, zoomed and rotated. iiV maintains the original data internally for mouse selection and display of original voxel values. If input locations map to a real world valued coordinates that mapping may be applied to display selected voxel locations in real coordinates. Slices may also include tracking crosshairs and automatically update to display the same region of the brain as selected in another slice. iiV includes a fairly complete set of editing commands including selection, drag, group, delete, and undo/redo commands. It also includes a script language for saving and reloading of the interactive display and creating animated demos. iiV supports reading ANALYZE, ECAT, ECAT7, DICOM, GIF, JPEG, PPM, Stimulate SDT, and raw data formats and saving what is displayed as scripts, GIF and PPM files. :
