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）： 该项目的主要目标是开发、测试、评估、维护、记录和分发多维医学图像计算机辅助可视化和分析（CAVA）的综合软件系统。目前可用于CAVA的开源软件系统有四个关键限制：（1）它们要么主要用于图像处理，要么主要用于可视化，而很少用于结构操作和分析。目前还不存在以全面方式涵盖所有四个处理要素的系统。(2)基础科学家和生物医学研究人员对它们的使用有严重的局限性。(3)他们有严重的速度限制。(4)它们缺乏与其他软件包和外围硬件的可互操作、可移植的接口。通过利用以前开发的软件系统称为3DVIEWNIX，这个项目的目的是开发一个新的开放源代码/有条件的开放源代码系统称为CAVA软件系统（CAVASS），将有效地克服上述限制。 为了实现这些目标，3DVIEWNIX的所有库将从其当前的Linux/Unix环境移植到包括Windows和Mac OS。对于具有计算瓶颈的关键CAVA操作，将开发并行实现，以便在多处理器系统中以可移植的方式解决速度问题。3DVIEWNIX的图形用户界面和图形界面将利用wxWindows进行更新，以便通过采用廉价硬件（如快门眼镜）和与ITK、矩阵、Mathematica和CAD/CAM及统计软件包等其他系统接口的简单方法，提供便携式立体可视化界面。CAVASS的开发方式不仅将提供所有CAVA功能的丰富资源，而且还将服务于不同的用户群体，这与现有的开源软件系统不同。这将包括参与CAVA基础科学和技术开发的研究人员，CAVA生物医学应用程序的开发人员，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。
