CAT (computational anatomy toolbox) is a free and open source software package used for the analysis of structural brain imaging data, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).[1] Developed by Christian Gaser and Robert Dahnke of the Structural Brain Mapping Group at the University of Jena, CAT is an extension of the SPM software.

Functionality

[edit]

CAT provides tools for voxel-based morphometry (VBM),[2] cortical thickness,[3] folding,[4] and gyrification[5] analysis, as well as volume or surface estimates within predefined brain regions of interest.
