DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The broad goal of this project is to develop, test, evaluate, maintain, document, and distribute a comprehensive software system for the Computer Aided Visualization and Analysis (CAVA) of multidimensional medical images. The open source software systems currently available for CAVA have four key limitations: (1) They have been developed either for mostly image processing or for mostly visualization, and very minimally for structure manipulation and analysis. Systems encompassing all four elements of processing in a comprehensive manner do not exist at present. (2) Their usability by basic scientists as well as biomedical researchers has serious limitations. (3) They have serious speed limitations. (4) They lack interoperable, portable interfaces to other software packages and peripheral hardware. By utilizing a previously developed software system called 3DVIEWNIX, the aim of this project is to develop a new open-source/conditional open-source system called CAVA software system (CAVASS) that will effectively overcome the above limitations. To achieve these goals, all libraries of 3DVIEWNIX will be ported from its current Linux/Unix environment to include also Windows and Mac OS. For key CAVA operations that have computational bottlenecks, parallelized implementations will be developed so that the speed issue can be resolved in a portable manner in multiprocessor systems. The Graphical User Interface and the graphics interface of 3DVIEWNIX will be updated utilizing wxWindows so as to provide a portable stereo visualization interface by employing inexpensive hardware (such as shutter glasses) and easy means to interface to other systems such as ITK, Matlab, Mathematica, and CAD/CAM and statistical packages. CAVASS will be developed in such a manner that it will not only provide a rich resource of all CAVA functions but will also serve different user groups unlike existing open-source software systems. This will include researchers involved in the development of the basic science and technology of CAVA, developers of biomedical applications of CAVA, and biomedical end users who wish to use the software system in clinical/biomedical research.

描述（由申请人提供）： 该项目的广泛目标是开发，测试，评估，维护，记录和分发多维医学图像的计算机辅助可视化和分析（CAVA）的综合软件系统。当前可用于CAVA的开源软件系统具有四个关键局限性：（1）它们是用于图像处理或大多用于可视化的主要限制，并且对于结构操纵和分析非常最小。目前尚不存在以全面的方式包含所有四个处理要素的系统。 （2）基础科学家以及生物医学研究人员的可用性具有严重的局限性。 （3）它们具有严重的速度限制。 （4）他们缺少可互操作的可移植界面，用于其他软件包和外围硬件。通过利用先前开发的称为3DViewNix的软件系统，该项目的目的是开发一个名为CAVA软件系统（CAVASS）的新的开源/条件开源系统，该系统将有效地克服上述限制。 为了实现这些目标，所有3DViewNix的库将从当前的Linux/Unix环境中移植到Windows和Mac OS。对于具有计算瓶颈的关键CAVA操作，将开发并行化的实现，以便可以在多处理器系统中以便携式方式解决速度问题。 3dviewNix的图形用户界面和图形接口将使用WXWindows进行更新，以通过采用便宜的硬件（例如shutter玻璃）（例如，快速眼镜）和与其他系统接口到其他系统，以提供便携式立体声可视化接口，并与其他系统进行接口，例如ITK，MATLAB，MATLAB，MATHEMATICA和CAD/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM/CAM和统计包装。 Cavass将以一种方式开发，以使其不仅可以提供所有CAVA功能的丰富资源，而且还将为不同的用户组提供服务，而与现有的开源软件系统不同。这将包括参与CAVA基础科学和技术发展的研究人员，CAVA生物医学应用的开发商以及希望在临床/生物医学研究中使用软件系统的生物医学最终用户。
