[IGSTK-Users] Educational IGSTK

[Yaniv, Ziv]

Dear IGSTK community members,

I would like to bring your attention to a recent offshoot of the toolkit, a set of programs we have developed for educational purposes [http://public.kitware.com/IGSTKWIKI/index.php/IGI_Tutorial].

To further expand the tutorial so that it is accessible to clinicians and the general public we need to provide data for additional anthropomorphic phantoms, and instructional material. As usual, the code is open source and the additional data and instructional material will have open licenses too.

As this is not the main goal of the toolkit we have decided to try and raise funds for this project in a less traditional way. Instead of applying for a research grant we are turning to the community, crowd funding. The project's description and donation page is found here:

We would appreciate it if you help us spread the word about the project and this opportunity to support our educational work. 

       best regards
              Ziv
