cell image analyzer

Commandeur
Dear all,

The cell image analyzer described in Baeker and Travo seems
to be a very interesting interface, which I would very much
like to use for comparing intensity ratios.

I downloaded the MRI-toolbox, but it did not have an
extension. I tried several things

-naming it as a .jar file and trying to run it (not valid/or
no main method)
-naming it as a .jar file and placing it in the plugin
directory of ImageJ
-naming it as a .class file and trying to compile and run it

None of the above worked. Is the package already avaible for
use? The name is 'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition', so it
ocurret to me that it might just be put online for demo
purposes.

Any information about the 'cell image analyzer' would be
appreciated very much.

Greetings,
Edwin Commandeur

P.S. I don't want to be annoying, but I find the name
MRI-toolbox a bit confusing, given that MRI reminds me of
magnetic reasonance imaging.

Re: cell image analyzer

Dear all,

According to the Linux console 'file' commando, the file
'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition' (which is the file you get
when you extract the 'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition.zip'
download) is a POSIX tar archive.

On Linux it can be untarred by doing:
tar --extract --file=mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition

On windows I just had to add .tar to the filename and then
it was noticed by WinRAR, and easy to extract using WinRAR
additions to the right click menu. (by the way: TugZIP will
 also do the job and is free)

The file 'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition' contained another
4 zip files:
MRI_LookupTableTool.zip
MRI_SlideShowControl.zip
MRI_Toolbox.zip
MRI_VisualScripting.zip

These zip files contained the eventual plugins and help files.

That way I had to uncompress 3 times (easy when you know it).

When I renamed the 'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition' to
'mri-toolbox-imagejconf-edition.zip' (after deleting the zip
file I downloaded) I could also extract the file, but in
that case I did not got 4 zip files, but a five directories,
 and a html file 'About MRI Cell Image Analyzer.html'. The
five directories are:

_applications
_help
_lut
_operations
plugins

It could well be that this is the way the authors intended
the file to be uncompressed.

Greetings,
Edwin

Re: cell image analyzer

Volker Baecker
Hello,

you are right for the name. Our imaging facility is called Montpellier
RIO Imaging (short MRI).
And magnetic resonance imaging is IRM in French. We recognized the
possible confusion with
ourselves, but it is too late to change now.

Did you get it to run? You should unzip the zip-files in the ImageJ base
folder.
You can find some further information on
http://www.mri.cnrs.fr/mriwiki/index.php?pagename=Links%20and%20Readings

I'll try to fix the archive on the ImageJ documentation wiki and write
some installation instructions, as well.
I've you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

Volker

Re: cell image analyzer

Commandeur
Hello Volker,

Thank you for the kind reply. Once I had the MRI-toolbox unzipped I
indeed got it to work. It did matter how I unzipped it for the files
that I managed to extract. Only by untarring I got the four zip files I
mentioned earlier. By unzipping (after changing the extension to .zip in
windows) I got the directories as mentioned, but I could not find the
MRI Tools palette jar and other files, so it seems to matter how the
files are extracted.

Also a lot of thanks for the url, which I had not found by googling.

The 'compare intensities' applications were the kind of applications I
was looking for. I will try them out and will contact you if I still
have questions after that.

A big thanks to all who worked on the cell image analyzer. ImageJ keeps
on surprising me with all the functionality that is available for it.

Greetings,
Edwin

Re: cell image analyzer

Commandeur
In reply to this post by Volker Baecker
Hello,

It also seems I downloaded the MRI toolbox from the wrong place. I
downloaded the MRI toolbox from:

http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/imagej-documenation-wiki/plugins/mri-cell-image-analyzer

That is the first url that pops up when googling on 'cell image
analyzer'. It shows how googling can be deceptive at times.

In the url Volker gave in his mail there is a download to the complete
MRI Cell Image analyzer, that I now realize is not just a plugin, but a
complete wrapper around ImageJ, adding all kinds of functionality. So I
should have gone to:

http://www.mri.cnrs.fr/mriwiki/uploads/download-mri-cia.htm

The zip files on that page work just fine!

Greetings,
Edwin
