[IGSTK-Developers] pictures from IGSTK open source tutorial at CARS conference in Berlin

[Kevin Cleary]

Hi all

 

I wanted to assure you that Andinet and Patrick are working hard in Berlin

 

The open source tutorial went very well and we had about 15 attendees, which
is quite good considering they charged a separate registration for it

 

We are also handing out CDs at the Claron Booth

 

More good publicity for IGSTK!

14:00 Open Source Software Tutorial:

Should I Join the Open Source Movement?

Chair: Kevin Cleary, PhD (USA)

Open source software development is an increasingly popular software
development

model, particularly in the research community. The availability and use of
open source

software is rapidly increasing everywhere, including within the computer
assisted radiology

and surgery community. However, as with most technologies, open source
software

is not a "cure-all", but rather one option for software development in
medical devices. In

this tutorial, we will start with an introduction and overview of the open
source software

field, including a discussion of what the term open source means, the
licensing issues,

and the business models. We will then survey the landscape of existing open
source

tools, with a particular emphasis on tools for the computer assisted
radiology and surgery

domain. We will next present an example open source implementation, the
Image-Guided

Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK). We will conclude with a demonstration of IGSTK and
discuss the

issues involved in using open source software in the clinical domain.
