Toolkits and Software for Developing Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis Applications

Solutions in biomedical image processing and analysis usually consist of much more than a single method. Typically, a whole pipeline of algorithms is necessary, combined with visualization components to display and verify the results as well as possibilities to interact with the data. Therefore, successful research in biomedical image processing and analysis requires a solid base to start from. This is the case regardless whether the goal is the development of a new method (e.g., for segmentation) or to solve a specific task (e.g., computer-assisted planning of surgery).
