The library of VMTK was made available in 3D Slicer, an application providing a wide range of tools

accessing VMTK, as well as the created library module are available as open­source software.

VMTK in 3D Slicer

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. It should be very interesting to offer such techniques in 3D Slicer.
