The DOD Air Force Research Lab has awarded Kitware a Phase I SBIR for automating the segmentation of 3D image datasets, for the purpose of converting this segmented datasets into simulation models. In addition, Kitware will develop semi-automatic methods including editing tools (i.e., 3D widgets) for manually guiding or modifying the results of segmentation tasks. […]

ITK 2.6 was released on March 1, 2006. ITK has adopted a Quarterly release model in order to more rapidly deliver new features to the community. This release schedule began with the ITK 2.4 release. Highlights of the 2.6 release include: • For the first time the Open Access Insight Journal was used as the […]

The National Science Foundation has Awarded Kitware a Phase II SBIR for volume rendering of adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) data. AMR data is used by many scientists and engineers to simulate processes such as astrophysical dynamics, combustion, fluid flow, and hydrodynamics. Volume rendering is a technique to “see into” 3D data much like an X-ray. […]

The National Science Foundation has Awarded Kitware a Phase I SBIR for volume rendering of adaptive multiresolution (AMR) data. AMR data is used by many scientists and engineers to simulate processes such as astrophysical dynamics, combustion, fluid flow, and hydrodynamics. Volume rendering is a technique to “see into” 3D data much like an X-ray. By […]

Kitware Inc., a high-tech software company specializing in imaging, 3D graphics, and visualization, is part of a team awarded one of four grants by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) dedicated to advancing biomedical research. In a highly-competitive review process, the NIH awarded four prestigious National Centers of Biomedical Computing (NCBCs) to “develop and implement […]

Minimally invasive abdominal interventions are rapidly increasing in popularity. This is due to the development of new interventional techniques-and the desire on the part of both clinicians and patients to decrease trauma. Minimally invasive interventions are done using catheters, needles, or other instruments that are introduced, targeted, and manipulated without the benefit of the direct […]
