Objective

The Vascular Modeling Toolkit (VMTK) is a collection of libraries and tools for 3D reconstruction, geometric analysis, mesh generation and surface data analysis for image-based modeling of blood vessels.

Several 3D Slicer extensions already exist and provide VMTK functionality in Slicer3.

Approach, Plan

We want to investigate how to include the VMTK in 3D Slicer functionality in the upcoming Slicer4 application. This should include several enhancements to the existing user interfaces.

Progress
