Sayan,

I hope that you are an appropriate person to contact.  If not, please=20
let me know who I should speak with.

I have just joined The University of Iowa Psychiatry Department in their =

image processing lab. =20
We have been developing a software package known as BRAINS for the past=20
10 years (see=20
http://moniz.psychiatry.uiowa.edu/local/brains2/acrobat/BRAINS2_Users_Gui=
de.pdf=20
for our documentation). We are in the planning stages of moving our=20
software base from a C framework to a C++ framework, and have become=20
interrested in using ITK (http://www.itk.org/ ) and VTK
(http://www.kitware.com/ ) as the base for this project.

We beleive that ITK is a great framework for our project, however,=20
several necessary data structures (such as ROIs, mask, Talairach=20
bounds), image file filters (Analyze, dicom, ge4x, ge5x), and=20
algorithmic components are missing. We would like some advice before we=20
rewrite our versions of these items so that they may be incorporated=20
into later releases of the ITK.

Please let me know how our group can most efficiently contribute to this =

work.

Regards,
Hans J. Johnson
