v2025.12 · Released December 12, 2025
Features
Multimodal Imaging
Load and overlay CT, MRI, PET, and other DICOM modalities in a unified workspace.
Visualization
Render medical images in 2D, 3D, and 4D with interactive slice views and volume rendering.
Open Source
BSD-licensed and developed openly on GitHub. Free to use, modify, and distribute.
Segmentation
Powerful semi-automatic and interactive segmentation tools for delineating anatomical structures.
Registration
Align and register medical images from different time points or modalities using rigid and deformable methods.
Plugin System
Extend the MITK Workbench with custom plugins tailored to your clinical or research workflow.
Partner Projects
MITK Diffusion
Diffusion-weighted MRI analysis — fiber tractography, connectomics, and microstructure imaging.
Kaapana
Open-source platform for federated learning and medical image processing workflows on Kubernetes.
MITK-IGT
Image-guided therapy tools — tracking device integration, navigation, and intraoperative visualization.
MITK as a Framework
Beyond the Workbench application, MITK is a comprehensive C++ framework for medical image computing. It provides a modular foundation for extending the MITK Workbench with custom plugins or developing your own medical imaging applications and research prototypes.
News
MITK v2025.12 Released
MITK v2025.12 brings several refinements to segmentation workflows, including improvements to nnInteractive–based AI segmentation, 3D label visualization, better label suggestions, and usability tweaks that make everyday segmentation work more efficient and comfortable.
MITK v2025.08 Released
With MITK v2025.08, the nnInteractive AI segmentation tool is fully integrated into the Workbench, allowing users to create 3D segmentations from just a few 2D interactions such as points, boxes, or scribbles. The release also adds live label search, improved multi-label segmentation support, and various workflow refinements to make segmentation and navigation smoother and more convenient.
