BioImage Suite 3.0 Installation

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/VISTA/7

You may need to install the Windows VS 2008 redistributable package first prior to installing BioImage Suite, especially on older versions of Windows (e.g. XP).

Brain Extraction Tool

BioImage Suite 2.x/3.x makes use of the FSL Brain Extraction Tool (BET). Unfortunately there are no native versions of FSL for windows. To alleviate this problem we provide a set of custom compiled BET binaries for windows. These are released under the same license as FSL itself, i.e. free for non commercial use. To use these:
  1. Download this zip file
  2. Unzip it somewhere in your path, e.g. c:\yale\bioimagesuite_extra\bin. A correct installation should have a file called bet.exe (and others of similar name) in c:\yale\bioimagesuite_extra\bin. BioImage Suite will detect the presence of this automatically.
Follow this link to obtain source code for this bet package. There is also a first beta version of a built-in version of BET under image processing/skull stripping.
