This document describes the implementation of image samplers using the Insight Toolkit ITK url{www.itk.org}. Image samplers take a set of `picks' from an image and store them in an array. A sample consists of the location of the pick (a point) and the [...]

This document describes the use and implementation of first and second order spatial derivatives of coordinate transformations in the Insight Toolkit url{www.itk.org}). Spatial derivatives are useful for many types of regularising or penalty terms frequently [...]

This document describes the implementation of a simple command line argument parser using the Insight Toolkit ITK. Such a parser may be useful for use in the examples of the ITK. This paper is accompanied with the source code.

Nonrigid image registration is an important, but resource demanding and time-consuming task in medical image analysis. This limits its application in time-critical clinical routines. In this report we explore acceleration of two time-consuming parts of a [...]

This document describes a novel scheme for the automated extraction of the central lumen lines of coronary arteries from computed tomography angiography (CTA) data. The scheme first obtains a seg- mentation of the whole coronary tree and subsequently [...]
