Hi all,

We are fortunate to have Luis Ibanez, Matt McCormick and Xiaoxiao Liu from Kitware offer to give a hands-on workshop on ITK programming, an incredibly useful open source, image processing development software library May 21 at the MNI.  Coffee, lunch and software(!) will be provided.  Cost is free, but registration is required (registration details to come soon). See announcement below.

Please save the date and share this email with anyone you think would be interested. More details to come soon.

Best regards,

The Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK)

Summary: ITK is a widely used, free and open-source, cross-platform software toolkit that provides an extensive suite of software tools for biomedical image analysis, especially segmentation and registration. Developed using extreme programming methodologies, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional data. ITK developers from Kitware, Inc. will deliver a free onsite workshop at McGill University. The interactive portion of this workshop will include an introduction to ITK and Simple ITK, with hands-on exercises on advanced image filtering, segmentation, and registration. An example will also be included that demonstrates interaction with the MINC toolkit developed at the Montreal Neurological Institude (MNI).  A free USB thumb drive will be provided with all necessary software.  

When: Tuesday, May 21th, 10am-5pm. The first hour (10am – 11am) will provide an ITK overview for those who cannot attend the whole workshop. The rest of the workshop will be a hands-on learning experience.

Where: McGill University, Montreal Neurological Institute, 3801 University St., Montreal, Qc in the De Grandpre Conference Room 

Audience: This workshop is appropriate for scientific programmers, especially image analysts, who are interested in learning about ITK and ways to use it in their work.

Cost: Free.

What to bring: Bring a laptop with VirtualBox installed (www.virtualbox.org) if you plan to attend the hands-on activities.
