Module Description

This GUI-less loadable module provides the libraries of the Vascular Modeling Toolkit (http://www.vmtk.org/) in 3D Slicer.

It is part of the NA-MIC VMTK Collaboration.

Official project page: http://www.vmtk.org/Main/VmtkIn3DSlicer

Usage

Installation

This module can be installed using the 3D Slicer extension wizard. The extension is called VmtkSlicerModule.

When the module was successfully installed, all VMTK extensions can be used.

Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials

The actual VMTK functions for end users are provided as Python scripted modules.

After installing this module, the following extensions can be installed and used.

  • VMTKLevelSetSegmentation providing level-set segmentation of vessels, aneurysms and tubular structures using different algorithms for initialization and evolution

Development

Notes from the Developer(s)

The algorithms provided by VMTK and by this module are C++ classes implemented using VTK and ITK.

Source code & Documentation

The complete source code is available at a NITRC SVN repository.

The most important files are the following:

During a SVN check out, the actual VMTK libraries are automatically checked out using a svn:external repository. Therefore always the latest version of VMTK is included as a subdirectory.

Since the Tcl initialization is performed, the vtkVmtk library can also be accessed from Python in 3D Slicer.

Information and documentation concerning the integration of VMTK can be found in this student research project write-up.

Documentation of the VMTK libraries is available here.

Known bugs

Follow this link to the VMTK in 3D Slicer bug tracker.
