By: Matt McCormick , Niels Dekker, Konstantinos Ntatsis, Marius Staring We are exceedingly pleased to announce the release of ITKElastix 0.16.0, an ITK module that provides Python and C++ interfaces to elastix, a toolbox for rigid and nonrigid registration of N-dimensional images. 🗺️🧠🙌 Registration is the task of finding a spatial transformation that aligns one […]

By: Matt McCormick , Mary Elise Dedicke , Henry Schreiner  WebAssembly’s origins date back to Alon Zakai’s incredible effort to build C++ to JavaScript. In 2015, we demonstrated the power of this technology to make scientific computational sustainable and accessible. Try it – reproducibility is still possible all these years later, with no installation (or maintenance!) required. An interactive, accessible […]
