Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) is a free open-source software system for development of interactive medical image processing software. MITK combines the Insight Toolkit (ITK) and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) with an application framework. As a toolkit, MITK offers those features that are relevant for the development of interactive medical imaging software covered neither by ITK nor VTK, see the Toolkit Features for details.

MITK can be used or integrated with existing solutions in several ways, see Research Platform for examples.

Second update on Nvidia AI-Assisted Annotation

September 2020

The Nvidia AI-Assisted Annotation plugin has been updated to version v1.0.2, including the brand new DeepGrow feature of the Nvidia Clara Train Application Framework v3.0. For more information, please visit the Nvidia Clara Train Application Framework documentation.

We refreshed our v2018.04.2 installers.

Update on Nvidia AI-Assisted Annotation

June 2019

The Nvidia AI-Assisted Annotation plugin has been updated to include the brand new Auto Segmentation feature. Auto Segmentation along with Annotation Server in Clara Train SDK provides capabilities for single step organ segmentation. The plugin also continues to support interactive mode annotation where the AI models are constantly learning from user inputs.

We refreshed our v2018.04.2 installers.

Fast AI-Assisted Annotation with Nvidia Clara AI

March 2019

Nvidia just announced the Clara Train Annotation at the GTC 2019 Keynote (jump to 01:25:00), which allows you to rapidly segment organs with a few clicks! In a cooperation between the German Cancer Research Center and NVIDIA, we already integrated this new technology into our segmentation tools in our recent MITK Workbench release 2018.04.2.

Learn more about this exciting new feature.


MITK 2018.04.2 Release

MITK ReleaseNotes 2018.04.2

March 2019

MITK 2018.04.2 has been released.

Most fixes are related to multi-layer/multi-label segmentation and the build system.

We are happy to announce that we, in a cooperation with Nvidia, integrated the Nvidia AI-Assisted Annotation in the form of two new Segmentation tools. These tools use the power of the Nvidia GPU cloud to greatly accelerate the segmentation of organs with only a few clicks. More information.
