The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) in Minimally-Invasive Surgery and Microsurgery
Bottom
No opinion
Kazanzides P., DiMaio S., Deguet A., Vagvolgyi B., Balicki M., Schneider C., Kumar R., Jog A., Itkowitz B., Hasser C., Taylor R.
The Surgical Assistant Workstation (SAW) provides a modular, open-source software framework to support rapid prototyping of computer-assisted surgery systems, especially those that benefit from enhanced 3D visualization and user interaction. The framework [...]

The MUSiiC Toolkit: Modular Real-Time Toolkit for Advanced Ultrasound Research
Bottom
No opinion
Stolka P., Kang H., Boctor E.
Ultrasound is a very useful and convenient modality in medical imaging, due to its relatively small footprint, high resolution, negligible adverse effects, and real-time imaging capability -- in spite of its well-known artifacts. However, it is fairly [...]

A Streaming IO Base Class and Support for Streaming the MRC and VTK File Format
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Lowekamp B., Chen D.
This paper describes our contribution of three new classes to the Insight Toolkit community. We present a new ImageIO base class for streaming image file, along with two derived ImageIO classes for the VTK and the MRC file formats.

Including TIFF tags in the MetaDataDictionary
Bottom

Beare R.
Tiff images are widely used and domain and instrument specific information is often included in some tags. There isn't any standard way of making use of this information in ITK at present. This article introduces some minor additions to the ITK tiff reader to [...]

Boolean Operations on Surfaces for VTK
Bottom

Lloyd B.
This document describes an implementation of a filter to perform Boolean operations between surfaces. The filter requires the GNU Triangulated Surface Library GTS to perform the operations. This document is accompanied with the source code, and the xml files [...]

Adapting the ITK Registration Framework to Fit Parametric Image Models
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Quammen C., Taylor II R.M.
The image registration framework in the Insight Tookit offers a powerful body of code for finding the optimal spatial transform that registers one image with another. However, ITK currently lacks a way to fit parametric models of image pixel values to an [...]

A Conditional Mesh Front Iterator for VTK
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
Doria D.
Region growing is a technique that can be used to propagate information over a mesh. In a previous submission, "A Mesh Front Iterator for VTK", we introduced an iterator that can be used with vtkPointSet subclasses to traverse a mesh. It is sometimes useful [...]

A Mesh Front Iterator for VTK
Bottom

Doria D.
Region growing is a technique that can be used to propagate information over a mesh. We provide an iterator that can be used with vtkPointSet subclasses to traverse a mesh in a reasonable fashion. A "front" is emanated from a selected starting vertex, and the [...]

An Intelligent cluster-based segmentation using Wavelet Features:Application to Medical Images
Bottom
No opinion
V T., J J.
Segmentation forms the onset for image analysis especially for medical images, making any abnormalities in tissues distinctly visible. Possible application includes the detection of tumor boundary in SPECT, MRI or electron MRI (EMRI). Nevertheless, tumors [...]

An Open Source, Fast Ultrasound B-Mode Implementation for Commodity Hardware
Bottom
starstarstarstarstar
McCormick M.
This document describes an open source, high performance ultrasound B-Mode implementation based on the Insight Toolkit (ITK). ITK extensions are presented to calculate the radio-frequency (RF) signal envelope. A variety of 1D Fast Fourier Transform options [...]
