Tissue Mapper

Tissue MapperTM

Tissue Mapper is a comprehensive annotation and delineation tool used for mapping tissue structures. You can:

  • Easily delineate structures at any resolution to create a 3D model from image data
  • Annotate regions of interest from customizable ontology list
  • Map images acquired with brightfield, confocal, two-photon, widefield fluorescence, or light sheet microscopes and with MRI and microCT

The data is courtesy of the James Schwaber and Zixi (Jack) Cheng research teams at Thomas Jefferson University and University of Central Florida. DOI: doi.org/10.26275/wox9-gqzp

Customer Reviews

The MBF team has been highly receptive to the project needs and constantly strived to improve TissueMapper to enable smooth handling of large image stacks, in-depth annotation, and seamless mapping of external data sets onto a 3D map of the intrinsic cardiac nervous system. The all-around expertise of scientists and technologists at MBF was crucial to preprocess and assemble the large scale imaging data to jumpstart the 3D map building process. It is heartening to see MBF, a commercial entity, drive the development, standardization and dissemination of open data formats for complex anatomical annotation towards enabling friction-free exchange of these data sets in the scientific community.

Our File Format is Now Open and FAIR to Allow Collaboration Between the Scientific Community

Tissue Mapper supports the collaborative goals of Open Science through the practice of data openness, integrity, and reproducibility, by using MBF Bioscience’s published digital reconstruction data file format, the Neuromorphological File Specification (NFS).

The data elements in this NFS format were specifically implemented to ensure the files are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). Abiding by these data standards and providing microscopy image and experimental data provenance enhances the ease of repurposing this data. Encoded in the well-recognized and readable format, the modeling elements specify microscopic neuroanatomies in a calibrated 3D coordinate system with appropriate units.

These Tissue Mapper files can also easily be viewed and parsed in a variety of software, e.g. MATLAB and Python. To learn more about the key elements of the file format and their relevant structural advantages, view our manuscript, A comprehensive, FAIR file format for neuroanatomical structure modeling.
