[Insight-users] RayCastInterpolateImageFunction: THIS IS WHAT A PAPER SHOULD BE !

[Markus Neuner]

Hi Luis,

Thank you for the overall positive feedback!
I must mention the major contributions of the co-authors (especially
Philipp Steininger), and Karl Fritscher who set up the website.
It always was our intention to share the results.

Regards,
Markus
