INSPECTOR Spectroscopy Software Launched
The latest INSPECTOR software is now online and available for download. The program has been developed for biomedical research employing in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and provides comprehensive processing and analysis capabilities in a one-stop-shop solution. Give it a try!
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows the non-invasive measurement and quantification of chemical compounds from living tissues. This makes MRS a powerful tool for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics of virtually all disorders that possess distinct metabolic signatures. Optimal processing and quantification procedures are crucial, however, for the reliable extraction of biochemical information.
In vivo MRS is well established and a variety of software packages exist for the processing and quantification of spectral data. However, the potential for in-depth quality management and access to the details of the processing stream are typically limited. Also, some MRS software packages focus on only processing or quantification, necessitating the addition of external interfacing between the two.
The INSPECTOR software comprises comprehensive processing and analysis functionality for in vivo MRS in a one-stop-shop solution. Extensive data handling, in-depth quality management and visualization options are provided, enabling maximum transparency at every step in the processing chain. Advanced analysis tools are integrated into INSPECTOR, making it ideally suited for in vivo MRS analysis. The details of the quantification algorithm can be flexibly chosen and tailored to the problem at hand, and extended confidence information is provided with the quantification. The software stands out for its potential for automation and its user-friendly work flow. All parameters of the software are automatically maintained in protocol files that can be loaded to restore parameter settings to previously selected values. Besides convenience, functionalities like this ensure reliable and consistent processing throughout multi-experiment studies. INSPECTOR has been developed for biomedical research and is specifically tailored to its needs. If you truly want to know what is in your data, this software will become your first choice.
