Editing Analyze (imaging software)

'''Analyze''' is a software package developed by the [[Biomedical Imaging Resource]] (BIR) at [[Mayo Clinic]] for multi-dimensional display, processing, and measurement of multi-modality biomedical images. It is a commercial program and is used for medical tomographic scans from [[magnetic resonance imaging]], [[computed tomography]] and [[positron emission tomography]]. 

The Analyze 7.5 file format<ref>{{cite web |title=The Mayo Clinic |url=http://www.mayo.edu/bir/PDF/ANALYZE75.pdf |accessdate=2009-08-28 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927191351/http://www.mayo.edu/bir/PDF/ANALYZE75.pdf |archivedate = September 27, 2007}}</ref> has been widely used in the [[functional neuroimaging]] field, and other programs such as [[statistical parametric mapping#Software|SPM]], [[FreeSurfer]], [[AIR (program)|AIR]], [[MRIcro]] and [[Mango (software)|Mango]] are able to read and write the format. The files can be used to store [[voxel]]-based volumes.  One data item consists of two files: One file with the actual data in a binary format with the [[filename extension]] <code>.img</code> and another file (''header'' with filename extension <code>.hdr</code>) with information about the data such as voxel size and number of voxels in each dimension. SPM has defined changes to this format, among other things the voxel ordering within the file. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Robb |first=Richard A. |last2=Hanson |first2=Dennis P. |date=1990 |title=ANALYZE: Proceedings of the First Conference on Visualization in Biomedical Computing - VBC '90 |url=http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=0025554282&partnerID=8YFLogxK |journal=Proceedings of the First Conference on Visualization in Biomedical Computing |series=Proceedings of the First Conference on Visualization in Biomedical Computing |pages=507–518}}</ref>
