Team members embrace new positions. Kitware continued its transitions in team management and organizational structure with four promotions. “This year, our offices in New York, North Carolina, New Mexico and France have undergone significant growth, particularly in data and analytics,” said Lisa Avila, the president and CEO of Kitware. “We are happy to recognize the […]

In late February we hosted an internal hackathon at Kitware for Tomviz at our North Carolina office. We used this as an opportunity to get all of our core Tomviz developers together with ParaView, VTK, ITK, and Slicer developers. We had some talks summarizing current progress and capabilities in Tomviz, Slicer, and ITK before getting […]

Developed by an international community, ITK collects best-of-breed algorithms for registering, segmenting, analyzing, and quantifying n-dimensional imaging data. The high-quality library facilitates reproducible research, provides a software resource for teaching image analysis, and offers a platform for commercial product development. Following a long history of development, installation of Python bindings is easier than ever. Beta […]

On behalf of the Insight Toolkit community, we are proud to announce that ITK 4.11.1 has been released! Download it now! This is a patch release that fixes critical issues, regressions, documentation, and compiler support. Of the numerous issues addressed in this release, most notable build support additions include Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7, […]

At 1.7 million lines of code, the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) is a library that exercises many corner cases for a C++ compiler. Dozens of compilers are validated nightly on the CDash software quality dashboard. Recently, the Microsoft Visual Studio team added ITK to its build validation suite. Similarly, Intel has now added […]

As ITK (Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit) is a foundational library in medical image processing, on which many programs depend (such as 3D Slicer), we want it to properly compile both on quite old and very new compilers. As Visual Studio is my development environment of choice, I took advantage of the opportunity offered by […]

Team offers software through open-source download. Kitware worked with researchers to make the first major release of Tomviz, an open-source platform that processes data for materials tomography. Tomviz aligns, reconstructs, segments, visualizes and analyzes three-dimensional tomographic data through a reproducible pipeline. The release followed the conclusion of Phase II of a Department of Energy Small […]

Research demonstrates how new technology can aid in characterizing mandibular disorders. Kitware detailed plans to share preliminary results of ongoing research at the 95th General Session & Exhibition of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR). Kitware Technical Leader Beatriz Paniagua, Ph.D., will present the results in “Continuous 4D Shape Analysis of Mandibular Changes” at […]

Tomviz is an application for visualizing, processing, and analyzing large datasets from transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopes. It is based on the ParaView platform and includes the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK). ParaView provides advanced visualization while ITK provides a wealth of image processing and analysis algorithms. Together they provide powerful capabilities for […]

Last week, Kitware attended the Tech Awards luncheon to receive the Software Innovation award from Albany Business Review. The award recognizes “a company or individual for achievements with software creation or services.” The luncheon began with remarks from Albany Business Review Publisher Cindy Applebaum and continued with a presentation by Editor-in-Chief Mike Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks […]

A core feature of Tomviz is the ability to modify 3D image data by one or more of the data operators available in the program. These operators can be used to perform 3D reconstruction of raw electron tomography data, to imbue images with metadata, or to perform general 3D image processing and analysis on reconstructed […]

Introduction Kitware provides collaborative research, development, and technology-integration services for companies that work in the medical and biomedical business sectors. As part of a series highlighting many of the applications that Kitware has developed in collaboration with our customers, this post features our joint efforts with Xstrahl. Xstrahl: The company Xstrahl is the leading designer […]

ITK Increases Support and Gains Remote Modules in Version 4.11 The development team for the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) released version 4.11.0 to offer exciting features thanks to the contributions of over 30 community members. Among its highlights, the release enabled NumPy bridge support by default. The support permits NumPy array views of […]

3D Slicer is an industry-leading, free, open-source software platform for medical image informatics, image processing, and three-dimensional (3D)/four-dimensional (4D) visualization. In the last five years, over 230,000 downloads of the software have occurred. Since its early age, a rigorous software process has been central to the development of 3D Slicer. Currently, more than 650 tests […]

Kitware released version 4.11 of the National Library of Medicine Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) to support scientific discovery through medical image analysis. Version 4.11 added remote modules to increase support for the capabilities of the toolkit. This release also bolsters code coverage, and provides members of the medical community with an open-source, cross-platform solution […]

As a medical imaging modality, one of greatest strengths of ultrasound is its ability to inspect the body’s condition in real time. For decades, radiologists, physicians, and ultrasonographers have leveraged traditional two-dimensional (2D) brightness-mode (B-mode) ultrasound images to obtain real-time structural information about soft tissue planes. New opportunities to improve patient care come from imaging […]

Earlier this month, we attended the 3D Slicer 2017 Winter Project Week at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in Cambridge, MA. The project week is a semi-annual event, where 3D Slicer users and developers gather to discuss and work collaboratively on open-science solutions for problems that occur […]
