USIMAGTOOL: AN OPEN SOURCE FREEWARE SOFTWARE FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGING AND ELASTOGRAPHY

UsimagTool will prepare specific software for the physician to change parameters for filtering and visualization in Ultrasound Medical Imaging in general and in Elastography in particular, being the first software tool for researchers and physicians to compute elastography with integrated algorithms and modular coding capabilities. It will be ready to implement in different ecographic systems. UsimagTool is based on C++, and VTK/ITK functions through a hidden layer, which means that participants may import their own functions and/or use the VTK/ITK func- tions.
