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 [...]

Optimizing ITK’s Registration Methods for Multi-processor, Shared-Memory Systems
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
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 [...]
