MITK aims to support the development of leading-edge medical imaging software with a high degree of interaction. -MITK re-uses virtually anything from VTK and ITK. Thus, it is not at all a competitor to VTK or ITK, but an extension, which tries to ease the combination of both and to add features not supported by VTK or ITK. +MITK re-uses virtually anything from VTK and ITK. Thus, it is not a competitor to VTK or ITK at all, but an extension, which tries to ease the combination of both, and to add features not supported by VTK or ITK. Research institutes, medical professionals and companies alike can use MITK as a basic framework for their research and even commercial (thorough code research needed) software due to the BSD-like software license. -Research institutes will profit from the high level of integration of ITK and VTK enhanced with data management, advanced visualization and interaction functionality in a single framework that is supported by a wide variety of researchers and developers. You will not have to reinvent the wheel over and over and can concentrate on your work. +Research institutes will profit from the high level of integration of ITK and VTK, enhanced with data management, advanced visualization and interaction functionality in a single framework that is supported by a wide variety of researchers and developers.

But nonetheless they will be better off, unless they are programmers themselves, to cooperate with a research institute developing with MITK to get the functionalitiy they need.

    Overview

    -The Measurement view allows you to measure distances, angels, paths and several geometric figures on 2D images or image slices of 3D and 4D images. The measurement view is repeatedly useable with the same or different measurement figures, which are correlated to the chosen image and can be saved together with it for future use. +The Measurement view allows you to measure distances, angles, paths and several geometric figures on 2D images or image slices of 3D and 4D images. The measurement view is repeatedly useable with the same or different measurement figures that are related to the chosen image and can be saved together with it for future use. \imageMacro{QmitkMeasurementToolbox_BasicScreenEdited.jpg,"Image with measurements",16.00}

    Usage

    The first step to perform measurements is to select a reference image on top of the view. All resulting measurements will be assigned as child nodes of the image in the data manager. The standard working plane is 'Axial' but the other standard view planes ('Saggital' and 'Coronal') are also valid for measurements. \imageMacro{QmitkMeasurementToolbox_MeasurementView.jpg,"Measurement View",7.60} After selecting an image, you can click on any of the geometrical symbols. The respective measurement will appear as soon as you click on the image location you want to measure. The view offers a variety of measurement options that are introduced in the following:

    Fixed sizes of measurement figures

    -The measurement view offers a fixed size for circle and double ellipses to preset a radius and a thickness. This is useful e.g. for disagnostic studies where you want to derive gray value statistics from a well defined region. +The measurement view offers a fixed size for circle and double ellipses to preset a radius and a thickness. This is useful e.g. for diagnostic studies where you want to derive gray value statistics from a well defined region.

    Modify measurements

    All measurements can be modified later on by moving the respective control points. Note that they can only be modified if the view is open.

    Multiple measurement figures

    When applying more than one measurement figure to the image the actual measurement figure is depicted in red and the displayed values belong to this measurement figure. All other measurement figures appear white. They can be selected by a left-mouse click on the respective node.

    Save the measurement information

    The entire scene containing the image and the measurement figures can be saved for future use. Scenes are saved with a '.mitk' extension by pressing 'Save Project' and contain all nodes and relevant information. Alternatively, you can just save the measurement solely (with file extension '.pf') by right-click on the node in the data manager. The content of the measurement widget can be copied to the clipboard with the corresponding button for further use in a table calculation program (e.g. Open Office Calc etc.).

    Remove measurement figures or image

    -If the single measurement figures or the image is not needed any longer, it can be removed solely or as an entire group. The image can't be removed without simultaneously removing all the dependent measurement figures that belong to the image tree in the data manager. To remove just select the wanted items in the data manager list by left-clicking on the respective node or, if several items wanted to be removed, left-click on all wanted by simultaneously holding the ctrl-button pressed. +If the single measurement figures or the image is not needed any longer, it can be removed solely or as an entire group.
