The applications to which ImageJ has been applied are astounding. Space limitations dictate that only a few salient examples can be given here: Paulo Magalhães and co-workers in the department of biomedical sciences at CNR Institute of Neuroscience, University of Padua, Italy, are using it to study the dynamics of
intracellular calcium, 3,4 while researchers at the Laboratory for Cellular Neurobiology of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and the Biomedical Imaging Group at Erasmus MC-University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands, are using the NeuronJ plug-in, for the automated quantitative
analysis of neurons and dendrites. The NeuronJ plug-in is based on recently developed and validated algorithms for detecting and linking elongated image structures specifically for this purpose.
