Giving streaming and multi-threading capabilities to non-streamable ITK filters
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
This document describes a filter able to give streaming and multi-threading capabilities to those filters that can not be easily streamed or multi-threaded. The goal of this document is to explain the implementation of this filter, and how it can be used to [...]

An Open Source, Fast Ultrasound B-Mode Implementation for Commodity Hardware
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
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 [...]

At the Johns Hopkins University’s Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (ERC-CISST) laboratory, we have designed and developed a platformindependent C++ software package, called the nArray library, that provides [...]

BinShrink: A multi-resolution filter with cache efficient averaging.
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
We present a new filter for the Insight Toolkit (ITK) for reducing the resolution of an image by an integer factor while averaging called BinShrink. This filter provides a new level of performance to ITK for reducing resolution and noise present in an image. [...]

ITK currently comes with a 2D binary thinning (skeletonisation) method, but does not support 3D or higher. This paper documents a new itkBinaryThinningImageFilter3D and recommends to rename the current filter as itkBinaryThinningImageFilter2D.
The 3D [...]

Radial Thickness Calculation and Visualization for Volumetric Layers
Published in The Insight Journal
Published in The Insight Journal
Volumetric layers often encountered in medical image analysis are characterized by double and nested bounding surfaces. The thickness of a volumetric layer at a point on the bounding surface is the distance from that point to the opposite surface. There exist [...]
