    Comments: -decent semi-automated segmentation with snake (and other) tool(s) -depending on linux distro, sometimes crashed a few times on first compiling -may need to preprocess images to get stronger results (depending on scan sequence and structure of interest)

    Comments: This is a pretty stable tool and nice for display. I had trouble with the snake tool in earlier versions and have not tried it in a while (lots of crashing and data loss).

    Comments: Feature Requests -- 64 bit version. Actually theare are limitations in image dimension due to win32 opering system (max 2 MB ram for each process). However for images of the head win32 version is enought.

    Comments: Overall -- what it advertise it easy  Installation -- download and installation are easy on windows xp/vista  Documentation -- I think that could be more examples to beginners  Long-term -- I am using FSL and bioimage too. I would be more interesting to have in one FLS+ITSNAP+bioimage. Visualisation/rendering is the problem for all  Feature Requests -- Visualisation/rendering is the problem for all

    Comments: Overall -- It is easy to use and helpful.  Documentation -- For the snake propogation tool, it's a little hard to know what is going on. It is not clear how the combined force of curvature and advection is working from the figure provided.  Feature Requests -- Some sort of built-in segmentation algorithm (GM, WM, CSF) would be nice.

    Comments: Overall -- The graphic environment is completely user-friendly, allowing intuitive learning  Installation -- The current version works perfectly in   Long-term -- We are currently working in adapting the tool for neurosonography images and succeeding in tracing and rendering some structures. This tool has been so far the only one versatile enough for leting us do such improvements  Feature Requests -- Perhaps a "calibration menu" for those whose images are not DICOM and therefore have lost the metaimage information, in order to adjust the voxels value with "real" measures

    Comments: Overall -- Very easy to use and fast. Step-by-step wizards lead you through segmentation.  Installation -- No problems at all on Win32.  Documentation -- Tutorial took only 30 minutes.   Long-term -- This is very professional segmentation software with a few tools. The interface and documentation are great. More segmentation algorithms should be implemented in SNAP.

    Comments: Feature Requests -- The following two features are critical to our work: 1. A Spline editing tool (similar to the present Polygon tool). 2. Better mesh generation for non-uniform voxels with high aspect ratio, like 1 : 1 : 6.

    Comments: Overall -- Outstanding, fully mature tool. It can easily compete with the best commercial tools. The use is very intuitive, with excellent online help, and easy to learn.   Installation -- No problem on all platforms, I tested them all.  Documentation -- Outstanding, very detailed online help and full manual. In addition, the NeuroImage paper provides a lot of details about the science and validation. Overall, the documentation might serve as an excellent example how other software should be documented.  Long-term -- This is far the best tool for any interactive, user-guided segmentation of voumetric data. The 3D snake is the best example how a well-known computer vision tool can be integrated into a GUI so that it can be distributed to the broad community. This is a tool for everyone who needs to quickly, efficiently and reliably segment structures in 3D. It is thus useful for a very broad category and not limited to MRI, fMRI etc., but to any application with volumetric data. A possible extension could be application to much larger datasets, where users can select a subvolume and then apply the processing to this region. This processing would finally be integrated back into the much bigger volume. This might have applications in microscopy imaging, e.g.  Feature Requests -- I would urge the developers not to add too much. The tool has a limited scope and thus do the job it is designed for extremely well, and training usually takes only 30'. Other tools try to solve everything and are thus very difficult to learn and to maintain.
