Open
Source Software in Medicine
|
|
Radiology
has benefited from Open Source since the release
of the DICOM Central Test
Node software by Mallinkrodt University. Medicine continues to benefit
from Open Source today. Dr. Jones will describe the tools used to sequence
the SARS virus on a 168 node Linux cluster in 5 days.
|
|
The
National Institute of Health has developed the Insight Segmentation and
Registration toolkit (ITK)
to support multi-dimensional image processing. By standardizing on
ITK tools, imaging researchers are able to move beyond writing commonly
implemented tools and concentrate on more advanced image operations
including CAD. |
|
Learning
Outcomes:
1.
Learn how Open Source has been used in medicine.
2.
Understand the steps to creating
successful Open Source projects.
3.
