Development of Medical Toolsin an Open Source
Environment
Our software for medical applications is based on
VTK.
VTK is becoming the standard for computation and
visualization
of medical scans.
(More info www.vtk.org)
A on-going and worldwide collaboration made
possible

• Windows, Linux, and Mac compatibility

• Computations on connected computers

Medical Tools Developedin our Lab
Computations
Software to segment, register, and analyze
medical scans
Intensive computation distributed on connected
computers
Visualization
Visualization of organs in different orientations
Comparison with other cases to help diagnosis
User-Interface
Design of user-friendly interface with clinicians
Goggles and virtual gloves will be experimented
