This presentation is a satire of the current obsession with intellectual property, innovation and originality that plagues the field of medical image analysis.
The presentation makes the point that most Journals and Conferences focus on Originality and [...]
This document describes the implementation of an ITK class to support the reading and writing of Meshes in STL file format. The Meshes are assumed to contain 2D manifolds embedded in a 3D space. In practice, it would be desirable to use this class mostly to [...]
Often times developers face the need to connect ITK and VTK pipelines to handle
image data. For this purpose, image data importer and exporter classes
have been implemented both in ITK and VTK. However, as evident from frequent questions in
the ITK and [...]
The Insight Software Consortium (ISC) and The National Aliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) are hosting a one-day MICCAI workshop that will feature oral and poster presentations on open-source toolkits and applications as well as freely available [...]

This documents is about the filter itk::ScalarQuadEdgeMeshToListAdaptor. It takes the input mesh and generates a list of measurement vectors according to the scalars of the mesh. The list can be fed into itk::Statistics::SampleToHistogramFilter [1, 2] to [...]
The goal of this workshop is to establish a forum for discussing open source toolkits and open
interfaces and how they have been applied in the development of computer assisted intervention
systems. The intent is to establish a dialogue between the open [...]
This paper describes our contribution of two new classes to the Insight Toolkit (ITK) community. This includes a base and derived ImageIO class for the JPEG2000 file formats based on the openjpeg-v2 libraries. In the current release of ITK, support for [...]
This workshop features peer-reviewed submissions that describe the available data and software of MICCAI.
This document describes a contribution to the Insight Toolkit intended to smooth the values of Field data associated with the nodes of a Spherical Mesh. The Mesh Smoothing filters contributed here do not modify the geometry or the topology of the Mesh. They [...]
Helper class for initializing the grid parameters of a BSpline deformable transform by using an image as reference
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
This document describes a simple helper class intended for making easy to initialize the grid parameters of a BSplineDeformableTranform. This paper is accompanied with the source code, input data, parameters and output data that we used for validating the [...]
This paper describes vessel enhancing diffusion (VED) filters implemented
using the Insight Toolkit (ITK). The filters are implementation of the
VED algorithm developed by Manniesing et al . The VED algorithm follows a
multiscale approach to enhance [...]
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 [...]
UNCHealthBrainMRI registration test results from the RegisterImagesModule that is distributed with Slicer and via KWPublic.
As demonstrated by the example videos accompanying this submission of the
multiresolution implementation of Spherical Demons, the registration appears
reasonable. However, we are still unable to replicate the warps from the
stable and well verified [...]
ITK is one of the most powerful image segmentation and registration libraries available as an open source toolkit. Motivated by the recent popularization of the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, in this work, we describe the set of required steps for integrating [...]
Enabling ITK-based processing and 3D Slicer MRML scene management in ParaView
Published in The VTK Journal
Published in The VTK Journal
This paper documents on-going work to facilitate ITK-based processing and 3D Slicer scene management in ParaView. We believe this will broaden the use of ParaView for high performance computing and visualization in the medical imaging research community. The [...]
We have recently detailed the procedure for building ITK on the iOS. In this work, we contribute itkiOSImageIO , the necessary ITK class that provides the input/output (IO) interface with the repository of images stored on iOS Apple devices, such as the iPod [...]
This article illustrates the process of performing reproducible research with existing open source tools.
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 [...]
Rotational Registration of Spherical Surfaces Represented as QuadEdge Meshes
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
This document describes a contribution to the Insight Toolkit intended to support the process of registering two Meshes. The methods included here are restricted to Meshes with a Spherical geometry and topology, and with scalar values associated to their [...]
IGSTK: Development Process and Project Management Best Practices for an Open Source Software Toolkit for Image-Guided Surgery Applications
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
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 [...]
IGSTK: A State Machine Architecture for an Open Source Software Toolkit for Image-Guided Surgery Applications
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
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 [...]
