This page lists typical use cases of the ITK modularization

BioFormats

  • Goal: Distribute a binary build of the BioFormats ITK binding
  • Requirement: Include on it only the pieces of ITK that are used.
  • In practice:
    • Enable only the "kernel" and "io-base" modules
    • make
    • make package


RITK

The R-Package that contains SimpleITK should only carry with it the source code of ITK that is needed for the build.

  • Goal: Distribute a source package that CRAN can build for many platforms
  • Requirement: It must be self-contained. It must be as small as possible
  • In practice:
    • Enable only the modules used by SimpleITK

Medical Device

In order to facilitate the FDA approval process for a medical device whose software uses ITK, it is desirable and convenient to extract from ITK only the source code used by the medical device software.

  • Goal: Package the source code of ITK that is used by a medical device
  • Requirement: It must be minimal, and self-sufficient.
  • In practice:
    • During the development process of the medical device the ITK modules will be identified, and enabled
    • A customized package of ITK source code will be generated, tagged and tested for regulatory compliance.
