I am concerned about confidentiality. How secure is FlowQuant?
FlowQuant works on the local disk space and does not transmit any data over the Internet. The data is only as secure as the PC that it is running on. Future releases will continue to follow this policy.

What can I do with the data that FlowQuant generates?
At each of the processing stages, FlowQuant creates intermediate files that are saved in the study directory. These files may include image capture files of the report figures seen on the screen. In addition, MatLab (*.mat) files are created and can be opened with any version of MatLab 2007a or later. This data is not documented externally but is available to end users for post-processing.  

Is it possible to crop an image?
Yes. Add an entry with the original image. Right click on the filename to reveal the context menu and select Crop Image. A dialogue will appear that lets you manually set cropping coordinates, select preset cropping areas, or use the Volume Viewer Tool.

I have found a bug/error. Where can I get help?
The best way to report a bug/error is by contacting the FlowQuant team directly at @email with a detailed description of the error and the circumstances under which it can be recreated. The support team may ask for additional information and files.
