A novel feature is the combination of ITK/VTK with Java/Eclipse RCP, four potential technologies complementing each other. While ITK and VTK provide comprehensive functionality for image processing and visualization, Java and Eclipse RCP facilitate the development of a modern and rich application.\r\n\r\nRCP offers everything for creating plug-in based software. The benefits of integrating ITK and VTK in such a modular architecture are reusability and extensibility. Functionality usually found in software for medical image processing and visualization (2D and 3D viewers, DICOM and application data management, etc.) is provided by the MIPP platform as plug-ins, can be easily reused by new applications and needn\\'t be re-implemented. Developers can extend the platform\\'s features by contributing new plug-ins and, again, make these available for others.\r\n\r\nThe paper describes the architecture of the MIPP platform and outlines its most important functionality. Finally, three clinical software systems implemented with MIPP are presented.","license":"You are licensing your work to Kitware Inc. under the\nCreative Commons Attribution License Version 3.0.\n\nKitware Inc. agrees to the following:\n\nKitware is free\n * to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work\n * to make derivative works\n * to make commercial use of the work\n\nUnder the following conditions:\n\\\"by Attribution\\\" - Kitware must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor.\n\n * For any reuse or distribution, they must make clear to others the license terms of this work.\n * Any of these conditions can be waived if they get permission from the copyright holder.\n\nYour fair use and other rights are in no way affected by the above.\n\nThis is a human-readable summary of the Legal Code (the full license) available at\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode","keywords":["C , Java, Rich Client Platform, RCP, ITK, VTK"],"authors":[{"name":"Swoboda, Roland","email":"rswoboda@fh-hagenberg.at","affiliations":["University of Applied Sciences Hagenberg, Bio- And Medical Informatics Research Group"],"corresponding":true},{"name":"Zwettler, Gerald","email":"gerald.zwettler@fh-hagenberg.at","affiliations":[]},{"name":"Pfeifer, Franz","email":"franz.pfeifer@fh-hagenberg.at","affiliations":[]},{"name":"Backfrieder, Werner","email":"Werner.Backfrieder@fh-hagenberg.at","affiliations":[]}],"date_submitted":"2007-12-31T01:57:04Z","external_publication_id":209,"revision_cids":["bafkreicazm426hurw67vnoojoriqtp3wexrkjymqchxvvrrf3kgu7kediy"]},"mdast":{"type":"root"},"downloads":[{"url":"https://ipfs.desci.com/ipfs/bafkreifwchq2a33nfwsyvb5c3xv6jj6gcs6uei6nwpighpnneloeb5ri5y","title":"root/insight-journal-metadata.json","filename":"insight-journal-metadata.json","extra":{"size_bytes":6339,"type":"file"}},{"url":"https://dweb.link/ipfs/bafybeicsqa3edbp7qqli5ijst5zr65fmgavie7poizvrfr4kmwhju7datu","title":"root/article.pdf","filename":"article.pdf","extra":{"size_bytes":13246495,"type":"file"}}],"references":{"cite":{"order":["ref1","ref2","ref3","ref4","ref5","ref6","ref7","ref8"]},"data":{"ref1":{"label":"ref1","enumerator":"1","html":"Towards automated segmentation and classification of liver lesions for diagnosis and surgery planning+International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery.
