+  The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) is a free
+  open-source software for the development of interactive
+  medical image processing software. Based on MITK, we
+  provide the MITK Workbench, a powerful and free
+  application to view, process, and segment medical images,
+  as well as a set of useful commandline applications for
+  typical image processing tasks like image registration,
+  conversion, stitching.
