This document presents an implementation of the Poisson surface reconstruction algorithm in the VTK framework. (This code was, with permission, adapted directly from the original implementation by Kazhdan, Bolitho, and Hugues. The original implementation can [...]

Isotropic volumetric acquisition in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is often challenging. A large number of factors such as patient or physiological motion, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), available static magnetic field B0 and total scanning
time limit the [...]

Implementation of the PLUS open-source toolkit for translational research of ultrasound-guided intervention systems
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
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 [...]

Morphological reconstruction may be implemented in a number of
different ways. ITK has an iterative method and a non iterative
method. This article compares the performance of another non iterative
method and finds a significant improvement.

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 [...]

Coronary Artery Tracking in 3D Cardiac CT Images Using Local Morphological Reconstruction Operators
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Automatic segmentation and tracking of the coronary artery tree from Cardiac Multislice-CT images is an important goal to improve the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. This paper presents a semi-automatic algorithm (one input point per [...]

An Open-Source Solution for Interactive Acquisition, Processing and Transfer of Interventional Ultrasound Images
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Ultrasound has become a very important modality in image-guided therapy. At present, however, the collection, synchronization and transfer of ultrasonic images are more cumbersome than necessary. This paper presents a reusable solution to these problems. We [...]

We present an open-source ITK implementation of a direct Fourier method for tomographic reconstruction, applicable to parallel-beam x-ray images. Direct Fourier reconstruction makes use of the central-slice theorem to build a polar 2D Fourier space from the [...]

This document presents a set of classes (vtkPointSetSurfaceReconstruction, vtkVoxelizePolyData) to produce a surface from an oriented point set. These classes are implemented as VTK filters. A Paraview plugin interface is provided to allow extremely easy [...]

This document describes an implementation of David S. Tuch's numerical Q-Ball reconstruction algorithm implemented using the Insight Toolkit ITK (www.itk.org). The document is accompanied with the source code, input data, parameters and output data that were [...]

An open-source real-time ultrasound reconstruction system for four-dimensional imaging of moving organs
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Published in The MIDAS Journal
Four-dimensional imaging is a necessary step in computer-assisted interventions (CAI) performed on moving surgical targets, such as those located within the beating heart or influenced by respiratory motion. Ultrasound (US) is often the best imaging modality [...]

This document describes an ITK implementation of an interactive method for tracing curvilinear structures.
The basic tools provided in this framework are an oriented flux-based tubularity measure and a geodesic path
tracer that uses the fast marching [...]
