Post last updated: October 24th, 2019. The Insight Toolkit (ITK) is not only a foundation for the practice of image analysis in industry and academia; ITK has been studied and used to demonstrate principles of scientific and medical image analysis in many university courses around the world. If you are not able to attend Kitware’s […]

scikit-build is an improved build system generator for CPython C extensions. It provides better support for additional compilers, build systems, cross compilation, and locating dependencies and their associated build requirements. The project started during the 2014 SciPy Conference Sprints by Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin, Michael Sarahan, Matthew McCormick, and Anthony Scopatz out of frustration with how difficult […]

Christian Herz, Kemal Tuncali, and Andrey Fedorov successfully used the SliceTracker extension of 3D Slicer (Fedorov et al., 2012a) to support an in-bore transperineal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided biopsy procedure. The clinical research procedure was performed under institutional review board (IRB) approval in the Advanced Multimodal Image-Guided Operating (AMIGO) suite of Brigham and Women’s […]
