M²aia: a mass spectrometry imaging applications for interactive analysis in MITK

M²aia is open source software, based on the well-known Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK). The software enables interactive visualization, signal-processing, 3D reconstruction and multi-modal image registration of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) datasets.
