1. The Bioformat extension adds a large collection of most popular life sciences file formats. Conveniently load 3D or 4D+ data from over 140 file formats (powered by Bio-Formats, in cooperation with Glencoe Software).

2. The Neuro extension offers specialized modules to analyze images obtained from CT or MR imaging. Diffusion weighted MR imaging (DWI) is used to image the rate of water diffusion in tissues like brain or muscle. This extension allows the user to compute the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), fractional anisotropy (FA), and directionally encoded color (DEC) maps. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) aims at localizing and visualizing fiber tracts in the human or primate brain and is supported by several modules.

3. The XImagePAQ extension for Amira provides a large variety of advanced image processing and quantification tools. These tools enable the user to perform image enhancement operations, create simplified and automated segmentation workflows, and perform extensive measurement and quantification tasks on objects in the image such as cells, bones, and other tissue features.

4. The Xtracing extension allows detection and tracing of filaments or tube-like structures in very noisy images, enabling, for instance, analysis of actin fibers or microtubules in electron tomograms.

5. The XWind extension is dedicated to advanced post-processing of simulation data, ranging from flow to thermal, and stress data. XWind brings an extensive array of advanced visualization and analysis tools to CFD and multiphysics, mechanical and thermal engineering, manufacturing simulation and microstructural prediction, nonlinear structural and geotechnical problems.

6. With the XPand extension, you can create new custom components for Amira, such as file readers and writers, computation modules, and even new visualization modules, using the C++ programming language.
