Description
SNAP is a software application used to segment structures in 3D medical images. It provides semi-automatic segmentation using active contour methods, as well as manual delineation and image navigation. In addition to these core functions, SNAP provides a number of supporting utilities. Some of the core advantages of SNAP include
- Linked cursor for seamless 3D navigation
- Manual segmentation in three orthogonal planes at once
- Friendly UI for selecting active contour segmentation parameters
- Support for many different 3D image formats, including NIfTI
- Support for concurrent, linked viewing and segmentation of multiple images
- Limited support for color images (e.g., diffusion tensor maps)
- 3D cut-plane tool for fast post-processing of segmentation results
- Extensive tutorials
Required Modules
Serial
- itksnap
System Variables
- HPC_{{#uppercase:itksnap}}_DIR
Additional Information
ITK-SNAP is a GUI application and can be used only on GUI server for short-term lightweight operations.
