Ultrasound (US) imaging is a popular and convenient medical imaging modality thanks to its mobility, non-ionizing radiation, ease-of-use, and real-time acquisition. Conventional US imaging is frequently integrated with tracking systems and robotic systems in [...]

This document describes the design of the PLUS (Public software Library for Ultrasound) open-source toolkit. The toolkit provides a basic infrastructure for implementing ultrasound-guided intervention systems. Functionalities include collection of [...]

This paper describes the software integration of a treatment planning system (TPS), based on the open-source 3D Slicer package, with the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP).The TPS is designed to enable researchers to replicate their clinical [...]

We present preliminary results of our work to develop an augmented display for improved visualization
of the prostate and surrounding critical anatomy for robot-assisted prostate surgery. Prostate
cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in [...]

medInria is a free medical imaging software developed at Inria, which aims at
providing clinicians with state-of-the-art algorithms dedicated to medical image
processing and visualization. Efforts have been made to simplify the user
interface, while keeping [...]

Acquiring data sets for stereo or multi-view reconstruction with known ground truth is costly and time consuming. Freely available data sets mostly focus on specific scene conditions and might not reflect the intended application scenario. We propose a GPU [...]

Open interfaces/frameworks increase the pace of research and discovery by promoting collaborations within and between clinicians, biomedical engineers, and software developers. These systems usually employ modular architectures to model the complexity [...]
