In-browser cinematic volume rendering capabilities are featured in VolView and are now also available in vtk.js.

How explainable AI helps you trust your AI algorithms Artificial intelligence has increasingly become a part of our daily lives. And while this provides numerous benefits and conveniences, a lot of people are uncomfortable with relying on this technology. In fact, AI is often referred to as a “black box” because we (meaning human users) […]

With the wide availability of cloud technology, the best modern medical imaging software now seamlessly spans desktops, web browsers, and mobile devices to bring a uniform software experience to physicians, clinicians and radiologists.

Kitware is presenting three live training courses over the next few months. The courses will be taught virtually by the experts here at Kitware. We are excited to offer early bird discounts to those who register by the deadline (see below). Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to use our most popular open source […]

Bringing new products to market or adding features to existing products is essential for any company looking to differentiate itself.  But finding the best way to turn an idea or concept into the final product is tricky and requires a lot of decision-making. For example, if you work in the product management community, you’ve likely […]

Research in artificial intelligence has seen significant progress over the past few years, spurring the increasing adoption of AI models in many real-world applications. Despite the success of these AI models, their “black box” nature and lack of interpretability present a serious barrier to users, especially in domains with critical, high-stakes decisions such as healthcare, […]

Facebook calls them the “Five Pillars of Responsible AI.” Google describes them as “Our Principles” for artificial intelligence at Google. The U.S. Intelligence Community has an “Ethics Framework” for artificial intelligence, and the U.S. Department of Defense has “Ethical Principles for Artificial Intelligence.” Each of these documents takes slightly different approaches to the same task: […]

NIH is increasing its investment in large, multi-center brain MRI studies via projects such as the BRAIN initiative. The success of these studies depends on the quality of MRIs and the resulting image measurements. Quality Assurance Many neuroscience studies rely on in-house procedures that combine automatically generated scores with manually guided checks. This is often […]

We are pleased to announce the release of VTK.js version 24! Since our last blog post for version 16, we have developed a ton of cool new features to further power-up your web-based visualizations. For those unfamiliar with VTK.js, it is a freely available, open source rendering library made for scientific visualization on the web. […]

The Insight Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration. Documentation for the toolkit ranges from the ITK Software Guide textbook, to Doxygen API reference material, to C++ and Python examples. The ITK Examples hackathon aims to bring together ITK developers and new users to expand documentation and […]
