This document describes the implementation of a class for the Insight Toolkit (ITK) that takes an image with multi-component pixels and outputs a scalar image for each component. This can be useful when examining images of vectors, tensors, etc. This filter [...]

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 [...]

In this article we describe higher order accurate derivative and gradient image filters for the InsightToolkit. These filters are central difference-based numerical derivative approximations that account for additional Taylor series terms and are based on [...]

A C++ file reader for the VisualSonics Vevo® 770 high frequency ultrasound system is presented. The digital RF header file is read into an XML DOM representation, which can be serialized as XML, HTML, or accessed in C++ natively with data object binding. [...]

Strain quantifies local deformation of a solid body. In medical imaging, strain reflects how tissue deforms under load. Or, it can quantify growth or atrophy of tissue, such as the growth of a tumor. Additionally, strain from the transformation that results [...]

This document describes a new remote module implemented for the Insight Toolkit (ITK), itkBoneMorphometry. This module contains bone analysis filters that compute features from N-dimensional images that represent the internal architecture of bone. The [...]

The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (www.itk.org) has become a standard in academia and industry for medical image analysis. In recent years, the ITK developers' community has focused on providing programming interfaces to ITK from Python, Java, [...]

This document describes a module for the Insight Toolkit (ITK) to assist in performance benchmarking and a suite of benchmarks for the toolkit. These resources provide metrics to quantify software computational performance. This is a pre-requisite to improve [...]

This document describes a new remote module implemented for the Insight Toolkit ITK, itkTextureFeatures. This module contains two texture analysis filters that are used to compute feature maps of N-Dimensional images using two well-known texture analysis [...]

This article illustrates the process of performing reproducible research with existing open source tools.

This document describes a module that extends the Insight Toolkit, ITK, which reads DICOM Spatial Rogistration Object files in itk::Transform's. Currently, DICOM files are read by applying the DCMTK library as a backend. An itk::DCMTKTransformIO class can be [...]
