[Ctk-developers] sparkit and ctk

[Marco Nolden]

Hi Steve,

that is good news, and a nice summary of existing interfaces. Welcome to 
the SparKit team!

We are currently in the process of integrating the CTK DICOM classes in 
the MITK application. Up to now we made only minimal changes to the CTK 
import and browsing code but we also got a few ideas for improvements 
and refactorings. Our student is right in the middle of finishing the 
integration work and I guess there will be presentable results in 
something like 4 weeks. But of course we could have a phone call or 
hangout before.

Best,
Marco
