Usage and Installation
TODO manual install TODO extension
Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials
After installing the library, the following Python scripted modules can be installed and used.
VMTKLevelSetSegmentation - providing level-set segmentation of vessels, aneurysms and tubular structures using different algorithms
VMTKVesselEnhancement - providing vessel enhancement filters to highlight vasculature or tubular structures
Development
Source code
The complete source code is available at a NITRC SVN repository.
The most important files are the following:
- CMakeLists.txt to include compilation of vtkVmtk
- vtkVmtkSlicerModuleLogic.cxx to initialize the generated Tcl wrapper classes
Since the Tcl initialization is performed, the vtkVmtk library can also be accessed from Python in 3D Slicer.
Known bugs
