ITKUltrasound
Purpose
This module contains filters for use with the Insight Toolkit (ITK) that image formation and analysis of ultrasound images.
Python Packages
Python packages are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Install with:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip python -m pip install itk-ultrasound
Build
Build against ITK 5 or later. ITK should be configured with Module_SplitComponents, Module_Strain, and Module_BSplineGradient set to ON.
