QP-Brain

Quibim

QP-Brain is a medical image processing application intended for automatic labeling and volumetric quantification of segmentable brain structures and White matter hyperintensities (WMH) from a set of MR images. Volumetric measurements may be compared to reference percentile data. The application is used by trained medical professionals, such as radiologists and neuroradiologists, as well as by clinical researchers, as a support tool in the assessment of structural MRIs.
