Chimera is our in-house development environment that leverages severalopen-source toolkits to perform analysis of medial dimensionality on medicalimages. Specifically, we use: The procedure for connecting these three toolkits together is fairly welldocumented in ITK. Specifically, look at the ThinPlateSplines example. Below, you can see several screen shots of Chimera in action. Want to knowwhat you're looking at? Read: G. Stetten, S. Pizer, "Medial Node Models to Identify andMeasure Objects in Real-Time 3D Echocardiography,"IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging,Vol. 18, No. 10, pp 1025-1034, Oct. 1999.With the exception of the interfaceand some of the newer work, all of the functionality described in the paper isimplemented directly in ITK and is available through anonymous CVS. An early (05/2002) version of Chimera. VTK let's you take arbitrary slices through a volume. Cool! A more recent (08/2002) version showing the FLTK interface. |
