Probabilistic Tissue Characterization for Ultrasound Images
Published in The Insight Journal

Curiale A.H., Vegas-Sánchez-Ferrero G., Aja-Fernández S.

This document describes the derivation of the mixture models commonly used in the literature to describe the probabilistic nature of speckle: The Gaussian Mixture Model, the Rayleigh Mixture Model, the Gamma Mixture Model and the Generalized Gamma Mixture [...]

N-Dimensional Phase Unwrapping
Published in The Insight Journal

Vigneault D., Wang W., Tee M., Bluemke D., Noble A.

Although phase data can take on any value, it is generally only possible to measure phase as a principle value, i.e., wrapped within the range (-pi,pi]. Determining the unwrapped phase from its principle value is a topic of considerable interest in magnetic [...]

A Tutorial on Combining Nonlinear Optimization with CUDA
Published in The Insight Journal

Hatt C.

Nonlinear optimization is a key component of many image registration algorithms. Improving registration speed is almost always desirable. One way to do this is to accelerate the optimization cost function using a parallel implementation. The purpose of this [...]

A generic interpolator for multi-label images
Published in The Insight Journal

Schaerer J., Roche F., Belaroussi B.

We present a generic interpolator for label images. The basic idea is to interpolate each label with an ordinary image interpolator, and return the label with the highest value. This is the idea used by the itk::LabelImageGaussianInterpolateImageFunction [...]

Anisotropic Diffusion in ITK
Published in The Insight Journal

Mirebeau J., Fehrenbach J., Risser L., Tobji S.

Anisotropic Non-Linear Diffusion is a powerful image processing technique, which allows to simultaneously remove the noise and enhance sharp features in two or three dimensional images. Anisotropic Diffusion is understood here in the sense of Weickert, [...]

InsightToolkit Kinetic Analysis (itk::ka) Library

InsightToolkit Kinetic Analysis (itk::ka) Library
Published in The Insight Journal

Dowson N., Baker C., Raffelt D., Smith J., Thomas P., Salvado O., Rose S.

This paper describes how to compile and use the Insight Toolkit Kinetic Analysis library (itk::ka), to perform analysis of dynamic medical images, along with a brief overview of the library source code. Supplied, are a set of interfaces to facilitate [...]

DICOM Spatial Transform IO in the Insight Toolkit
Published in The Insight Journal

McCormick M., Wang K., Lasso A., Sharp G., Pieper S.

This document describes a module that extends the Insight Toolkit, ITK, which reads DICOM Spatial Rogistration Object files in itk::Transform's. Currently, DICOM files are read by applying the DCMTK library as a backend. An itk::DCMTKTransformIO class can be [...]

A Flexible Variational Registration Framework
Published in The Insight Journal

Schmidt-Richberg A., Werner R., Handels H., Ehrhardt J.

In this article, we present an implementation of a flexible framework for non-parametric variational image registration, realized as part of ITK's finite difference solver hierarchy. In a variational registration setting, the transformation is found by [...]

A MultipleImageIterator for iterating over multiple images simultaneously
Published in The Insight Journal

Schaerer J.

Several applications such as multi-atlas segmentation require frequent iteration over multiple image volumes at the same time. Doing so with the regular ITK iterators is tedious and error prone as it requires updating each iterator at end of each iteration. [...]
