飞行时间（ToF）技术是一种快速获取距离信息的新兴技术，在术中表面采集中越来越受欢迎。使用ToF技术作为术中成像模式需要无缝集成到临床工作流程中。因此，我们的目标是在现有的框架中集成ToF支持medical image processing.MethodsMITK-ToF实现的开源C++医学成像交互工具包（MITK）的扩展，并提供所需的基本功能，快速原型和图像引导治疗（IGT）的应用程序，利用范围内的数据进行术中表面采集的发展。该框架设计了一个基于模块的架构分离的硬件依赖的图像采集任务的范围data.ResultsThe的第一个版本的MITK-ToF的处理已被发布为一个开源的工具包，并支持几个ToF相机和基本的处理算法。工具包、示例应用程序和教程可从http://mitk.org.ConclusionsWith获得。用于术中表面采集的飞行时间相机越来越受欢迎，将范围数据支持集成到医学图像处理工具包（如MITK）中是必要的一步。处理从不同的相机和数据的处理范围数据的采集需要建立和使用软件设计原则，强调灵活性，可扩展性，鲁棒性，性能和便携性。开源工具包MITK-ToF满足了图像引导治疗社区的这些要求，并已用于多个研究项目。
PurposeThe time-of-flight (ToF) technique is an emerging technique for rapidly acquiring distance information and is becoming increasingly popular for intra-operative surface acquisition. Using the ToF technique as an intra-operative imaging modality requires seamless integration into the clinical workflow. We thus aim to integrate ToF support in an existing framework for medical image processing.MethodsMITK-ToF was implemented as an extension of the open-source C++ Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) and provides the basic functionality needed for rapid prototyping and development of image-guided therapy (IGT) applications that utilize range data for intra-operative surface acquisition. This framework was designed with a module-based architecture separating the hardware-dependent image acquisition task from the processing of the range data.ResultsThe first version of MITK-ToF has been released as an open-source toolkit and supports several ToF cameras and basic processing algorithms. The toolkit, a sample application, and a tutorial are available from http://mitk.org.ConclusionsWith the increased popularity of time-of-flight cameras for intra-operative surface acquisition, integration of range data supports into medical image processing toolkits such as MITK is a necessary step. Handling acquisition of range data from different cameras and processing of the data requires the establishment and use of software design principles that emphasize flexibility, extendibility, robustness, performance, and portability. The open-source toolkit MITK-ToF satisfies these requirements for the image-guided therapy community and was already used in several research projects.
