Context
ITK is an open-source software toolkit for performing registration and segmentation. ITK is implemented in C++. ITK is cross-platform, using the CMake build environment to manage the configuration process. In addition, an automated wrapping process generates interfaces between C++ and interpreted programming languages such as Tcl, Java, and Python. This enables developers to create software using a variety of programming languages. ITK's C++ implementation style is referred to as generic programming (i.e., using templated code). Such C++ templating means that the code is highly efficient, reusable, and that many software problems are discovered at compile-time, rather than at run-time during program execution. Because ITK is an open-source project, developers from around the world can use, debug, maintain, and extend the software. ITK uses a model of software development referred to as extreme programming. Extreme programming collapses the usual software creation methodology into a simultaneous and iterative process of design-implement-test-release
Objectives of the course
This intensive course aims both at giving a brief introduction to ITK for new and potential users, as well as in-depth details on advanced ITK programming for ITK developers. Moreover, a special session will be dedicated to the link between ITK and different medical image viewers. The course will include plenary presentation by specialists from Kitware Inc. (http://www.kitware.com) as well as hands-on exercises on real, practical problems in medical imaging.
Organization
The course is organised by
Dr. Kevin Cleary Imaging Science and Information Systems (ISIS) Center Department of Radiology Georgetown University Medical Center

in collaboration with Kitware Inc.
Instructors
Instructors will be
- Luis Ibanez, Kitware Inc,
- Andinet Enquobahrie, Kitware Inc,
- Julien Jomier, CADDLab UNC
Preliminary program
Preparation
Download the Binary version of CMake 2.2
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html
You could also download the source and build it on your own, but this is not necessary. Using the binary version should be much simpler.
Download and Build ITK
Download ITK 2.2 following the instructions in
http://www.itk.org/CourseWare/Training/GettingStartedI-WebPage/index.htm
and build it in your machine. You can use any of the platforms supported by ITK.
- Microsoft Windows with Visual Studio
- Microsoft Windows with Borland Compiler
- Microsoft Windows with Intel Compiler
- Microsoft Windows with Cygwin
- Linux with Intel Compiler
- Linux with GCC 2.95, 3.0, 3.2 3.3, 3.4, or 4.0
- Macintosh with Gcc
- SGI with CC native compiler
- SGI with GCC
- SUN with CC native compiler
- SUN with GCC
Download and Build the Exercises
The source code of the hands-on exercises is contained in the following zip file.
Please download and build the exercises.
You should build these exercises before attending the course.
In this way the time of the course will be focused on studying the exercises and not in dealing with configuration problems.
