This defines a need for automated skull base segmentation to improve the usability of surgical planning software. The objective of this work was to design and validate an algorithm for atlas-based automated segmentation of skull base structures in individual image sets for skull base surgical planning. Advanced Normalization Tools software was used to construct a synthetic CT template from 6 subjects, and skull base structures were manually segmented to create a reference atlas. Landmark registration followed by Elastix deformable registration was applied to the template to register it to each of the 30 trusted reference image sets. Dice coefficient, average Hausdorff distance, and clinical usability scoring were used to compare the atlas segmentations to those of the trusted reference image sets. The mean for average Hausdorff distance for all structures was less than urce algorithms, such as the Elastix deformable algorithm, can be used for automated atlas-based segmentation of skull base structures with acceptable clinical accuracy and minimal corrections with the use of the proposed atlas. The first publicly available CT template and anterior skull base segmentation atlas being released (available at this link http//hdl.handle.net/1773/46259 ) with this paper will allow for general use of automated atlas-based segmentation of the skull base.This study analyzed the difference between biofilm and planktonic Brucella abortus using metabolomics and proteomics. Brucella abortus was cultured in different media to induce Brucella abortus biofilm formation and planktonic cells, followed by metabolomics and proteomics analyses for these two samples. Significant differential metabolites were identified, followed by KEGG pathway analysis. Differentially expressed proteins were identifie
