The architecture and performance of CAVASS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our group has been developing medical image software systems since the early 1980s. Our latest system, CAVASS, is freely available, open source, integrated with popular toolkits, and runs on Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS. The architecture of CAVASS incorporates parallel processing by exploiting inexpensive networks of workstations. CAVASS is directed at the visualization, processing, and analysis of nD medical imagery, so support for large medical imagery data and the efficient implementation of algorithms is given paramount importance. We describe the architecture of CAVASS, the parallelization strategy, and present the results of comparing the implementation of CAVASS algorithms with similar algorithms in ITK and VTK for a host of operations.

The development of the concepts within 3DVIEWNIX and of the software system 3DVIEWNIX itself dates back to the 1970s. Since then, a series of software packages for Computer Assisted Visualization and Analysis (CAVA) of images came out from our group, 3DVIEWNIX released in 1993, being the most recent, and all were distributed with source code. CAVASS, an open source system, is the latest in this...
