Usage and Installation
TODO manual install TODO extension
Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials
After installing the library, the following Python scripted modules can be 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 & documentation
The complete source code is available at a NITRC 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
Follow this link to the VMTK in 3D Slicer bug tracker.
