2. G OAL To analyze segmented cells Identify cell body Number of projections Cell location Proximity to other cell types

3. Neurons: The basic unit of the nervous system is neuron. The basic function of the neuron is to transmit information. There are approximately 28 billion neurons in the human body penetrating every tissue in every part.

5. S EGMENTATION Goal of segmentation is to simplify and change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Image Segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries in images.

10. N UMBER O F P ROJECTIONS To find number of projections and to measure their average and maximum length we used the Skeletonize method. In skeletonized image the voxels are classified into three different categories End –point Junction Slab

14. F UTURE W ORKS We are developing a plugin for seeded region growing to do segmentation by using level set to find results more accurately.
