Brain Extraction Tool
BioImage Suite 2.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:- Download this zip file
- 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.
