NA-MIC Tutorial: Interfacing third-party software Posted By: David Kennedy - Aug 14, 2008Tool/Resource: Conferences, Workshops and Meetings Interested in Making your ITK algorithm available to Clinicians with 3 lines of code? If you have an image-analysis algorithm that you would like to incorporate with minimal effort into a well-supported, Open Source software platform for biomedical image analysis, please consider attending the NA-MIC Tutorial/Workshop on "Interfacing third-party software with the NA-MIC open-source toolkit" at http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/Mic... on September 10, 2008. Even if you are familiar with the NA-MIC Kit offerings, please note that this workshop with include an introduction to the newly developed plug-in interface between your executables and the NA-MIC platform. The workshop combines introductory lectures on the software components of the Open Source toolkit, the NA-MIC kit, with hands-on tutorial sessions that guide the participants through the integration of the open-source tools with third-party software. Participants will be able to interface their own algorithms with the NA-MIC kit to facilitate greater interoperability of advanced medical image analysis software tools. This course is intended for scientists and engineers of the medical image analysis community. To learn more about the NA-MIC kit, please visit http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/NA-... To learn more about MICCAI and associated workshops, please visit http://miccai2008.rutgers.edu/index.html The emergence of increasingly sophisticated mathematical models, image analysis and visualization tools that have followed the rapid development of new medical imaging technologies has led to a better understanding of organ functions in human health and disease. For the past four years, the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) <http://www.na-mic.org>, one of the seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC), part of the NIH Roadmap for medical research, has focused its efforts on the conversion of scientific advances from the biomedical imaging community into an open-source toolkit, so as to improve the availability and deployment of advanced software tools on a national scale. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide the members of the MICCAI community with a practical experience of the image processing and 3D visualization capabilities of the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) open-source software toolkit. Course faculty include: * Sonia Pujol, Ph.D., Surgical Planning Laboratory, Harvard Medical School, Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA. * Randy Gollub, M.D., Ph.D., Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Harvard Medical School, Department of Psychiatry, Massachussetts General Hospital, Boston, MA. * Steve Pieper, Ph.D., Isomics Inc., Cambridge, MA. * Jim Miller, Ph.D., Visualization & Computer Vision, GE Research, Niskayuna, NY. We hope you will join us. -- Tina Kapur, Ph.D. Executive Director Image Guided Therapy Program Department of Radiology Brigham and Women's Hospital 75 Francis Street, Boston MA 02115 (617) 732 5893 tkapur@bwh.harvard.edu |
