Wes, thanks for your input here. That would be great. Do your methods depend upon any ITK/SimpleITK routines? I'm wondering if it would be better to keep SimpleITK (the R wrapper version) as a separate R package and then develop additional packages that add features, or just put everything in one package (hmm). <br>
<br>For me, I've developed (with others) a lot of mathematical modelling and statistical inference methods in R that operate on multidimensional arrays (usually coming from one of the medical imaging data formats); e.g., for functional MRI, DTI, HARDI or DCE-MRI. What we lack is the so-called pre-processing techniques needed in medical image analysis: segmentation, filtering, registration, etc. Hence, SimpleITK (the R wrapper version) would be a great way to access the techniques listed previously on data that have been read it via R, and stored as multidimensional arrays, then take the output back into R for further analysis and visualization.<br>
<br>I'm looking for the best way to incorporate the impressive variety of ITK routines into my R-based data analysis pipeline.<br><div style="margin:2em 0pt" name="sig_d41d8cd98f"><p>cheers...</p>

For visualization in SimpleITK we have a primitive sitk.Show method. This method currently just writes the image out to disk and then loads is up in ImageJ. To use the, you need a recent version of ImageJ. We hope to make this methods more configurable in the future, and take advantage built in language specific visualization tools. However, with SimpleITK supporting 2D, 3D image, along with all the vector pixel types, and complex pixel types etc... many existing tools don't have the needs support for all these possibilities.</div>
