Summary: ITK is a widely used, free and open-source, cross-platform software toolkit that provides an extensive suite of software tools for biomedical image analysis, especially segmentation and registration. Developed using extreme programming methodologies, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional data. ITK developers from Kitware, Inc. will deliver a free onsite workshop at McGill University. The interactive portion of this workshop will include an introduction to ITK and Simple ITK, with hands-on exercises on advanced image filtering, segmentation, and registration. An example will also be included that demonstrates interaction with the MINC toolkit developed at the Montreal Neurological Institude (MNI). A free USB thumb drive will be provided with all necessary software.
When: Tuesday, May 21th, 10am-5pm. The first hour (10am – 11am) will provide an ITK overview for those who cannot attend the whole workshop. The rest of the workshop will be a hands-on learning experience.
Coffee and lunch will be provided for all those registered.
Where: McGill University, DeGrandpre Conference Room, Montreal Neurological Institute (3801 University Street).
Audience: This workshop is appropriate for scientific programmers, especially image analysts, who are interested in learning about ITK and ways to use it in their work.
Cost: Free,but registration is required and you can REGISTER HERE!
What to bring: Bring a laptop with VirtualBox installed (www.virtualbox.org) if you plan to attend the hands-on activities.
Sponsored by: The National Institutes of Health-National Library of Medicine (NIH-NLM), Kitware, Inc., theMcConnell Brain Imaging Center, Montreal Neurological Institute (BIC-MNI), RBIQ/QBIN, and NSERC CREATE-MIA.
