DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Thousands of medical researchers around the world use VTK -the Visualization Toolkit- an open-source, freely available software development toolkit providing advanced 3D interactive visualization, image processing and analytics algorithms. They either use VTK directly in their in-house research applications or indirectly via one of the multitude of medical image analysis and bioinformatics applications that is built using VTK: Osirix, 3D Slicer, BioImageXD, MedINRIA, VR-Render, GIMIAS, SCIRun, VolView, IGSTK, and others. Furthermore, VTK also provides 3D visualizations for clinical applications such as BrainLAB's Vector Vision surgical guidance system. VTK has been downloaded many hundreds of thousands of times since its initial release in 1993. Considering its broad distribution and prevalent use, it can be argued that VTK has had a greater impact on medical research, and patient care, than any other open-source visualization package. This proposal is in response to the crescendo of requests we have been receiving from the VTK medical community. The aims are as follows: 1. Update the VTK graphics infrastructure to support efficient representation and rendering of large data, visualizing data over the web and on mobile platforms, and interactively exploring data using 3D widgets. 2. Manage the growth of VTK and its large open-source community by enabling multiple channels whereby code can be easily contributed, discovered, downloaded, and used as modular extensions to VTK. 3. Conduct targeted outreach to maximize the impact of the proposed VTK enhancements on the medical community. We will work collaboratively with five world-leading research labs throughout the proposed process, including the Virtual Lung Project at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Institute for Computational Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, and three other labs.

描述（由申请人提供）：世界各地数以千计的医学研究人员使用 VTK（可视化工具包），这是一个开源、免费的软件开发工具包，提供先进的 3D 交互式可视化、图像处理和分析算法。他们要么直接在内部研究应用程序中使用 VTK，要么通过使用 VTK 构建的众多医学图像分析和生物信息学应用程序之一间接使用 VTK：Osirix、3D Slicer、BioImageXD、MedINRIA、VR-Render、GIMIAS、SCIRun、VolView 、IGSTK 等。此外，VTK 还为临床应用提供 3D 可视化，例如 BrainLAB 的 Vector Vision 手术引导系统。自 1993 年首次发布以来，VTK 已被下载数十万次。考虑到其广泛的分布和普遍的使用，可以说 VTK 对医学研究和患者护理的影响比任何其他开源软件都大。可视化包。 该提案是对我们从 VTK 医疗界收到的越来越多的请求的回应。目标如下： 1. 更新 VTK 图形基础设施，以支持大数据的高效表示和渲染、在网络和移动平台上可视化数据以及使用 3D 小部件交互式探索数据。 2. 通过启用多种渠道来管理 VTK 及其大型开源社区的发展，通过这些渠道可以轻松地贡献、发现、下载代码并将其用作 VTK 的模块化扩展。 3. 开展有针对性的宣传活动，最大限度地发挥拟议的 VTK 增强功能对医学界的影响。在整个拟议过程中，我们将与五个世界领先的研究实验室合作，包括北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的虚拟肺项目、约翰霍普金斯大学计算医学研究所以及其他三个实验室。
