Purpose

This module contains filters for use with the Insight Toolkit (ITK) <https://itk.org/>_ 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.
