This talk presents the Open-Source toolkits developed by Kitware for big data analysis.

In this paper , we propose an extension to the National Library of Medicine's Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK. www.itk.org) with a companion image access and archival system that merges the image transfer capabilities of DICOM with DSpace [...]

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows a quantitative study of the underlying geometry and architecture of white matter. We have developed a suite of open source tools for quantitative analysis of DTI suitable for use in clinical research studies. We have [...]

This course introduces attendees to select open-source efforts in the field of medical image analysis. Opportunities for users and developers are presented. The course particularly focuses on the open-source Insight Toolkit (ITK) for medical image [...]

This document describes work-in-progress for refactoring ITK’s registration methods to exploit the parallel, computation power of multi-processor, shared-memory systems. Refactoring includes making the methods multi-threaded as well as optimizing the [...]

The usage of image processing has become an important and continuous growing field in medical imaging. Although a large amount of algorithms is available, only few are routinely applied within applications for clinical diagnosis support and treatment [...]

Open source technologies are increasing in popularity for software development. Many open source projects rely on skilled development teams whose members are distributed throughout the world. Often, agile development methods are employed by these teams, as [...]

The Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK) is an Open Source software project being developed under NIH/NIBIB funding. The toolkit will provide a common platform for implementing image-guided surgery applications and for fostering research in the field. The [...]

This paper is a position statement on the benefits that an Open Source toolkit can bring to the field of image guided surgery. The particular example discussed here is the IGSTK toolkit. IGSTK is an open source software project designed for supporting the [...]
