OSTEO 2012 Selected New Features

Bone Referent Array Set = Referent Data Magic

The Bone Referent Array set gives you Tissue Volume, Bone Volume, and Bone Surface with minimal editing in a single measurement step.

• Bone Surface, Bone Volume, and Tissue Volume are measured in one step.
• Special thresholding functionality: Automatically fills holes that are not valid void space.
• Bone Surface excludes invalid surface that touches the edges of the region of interest.

New Protocols Integrate New Features

Each new protocol has a Guide to walk you through the procedure step-by-step from within the software.

• Bone Structure in Cortical Mid-shaft Cross-sections
• Chondrocyte Proliferation
• Subchondral Bone Structure in Arthritis
• Cancer Metastasis to Bone
• Human Trabecular Histomorphomtery
• Rodent Trabecular Histomorphometry (Skeletal Phenotyping)

Very, Very, Large Imaging

The images only get larger and BIOQUANT is committed to supporting the image of the future.

• Open TIFF, BMP, and JPG images up to nearly 1 GB. (BIF images could always be opened at this size.)
• Save Images with graphics, thick tracings, scale bars, pseudocolor for publication.
• Save very large images with tracings as SVG files that can be dynamically re-sized without image or tracing degradation.

BIOQUANT Scan - Well Plate Imaging

Imagine scanning in your entire tissue section at 40x.  BIOQUANT's Large Image Navigator acts as a virtual microscope, allowing you to zoom to different magnifications for measurement.

• BIOQUANT Scan now supports scanning well plates.  (It could already scan entire tissue sections at 40x!)
  

How Easy Can it Get

• Assign functionality allows you assign the Topo array, ROI Type, Measurement Type, and Void Filters to the measurement array.  (You could already assign the Magnification, Measurement Color, Threshold, Outline Filters, and Measurement Filters.)
• Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!  Draw Threshold and Erase Threshold now support up to 3X zoom while editing.
  
• New Measurement region interface puts tools you need right there.
• New Data Manager Export Tools export data from BIOQUANT dynamically to Microsoft Excel - Export Data Table, Export Raw Data, Export Topo Data.
