Lawrence R. Tarbox PhD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Fred William Prior PhD, Presenter: Research collaboration, Electrical Geodesics, Inc

1) Learn the basic architecture of an XIP™ Application and how it interacts with the XIP Host™ and with the GUI system. 2) Become familiar with the capabilities available in the XIP Libraries™. 3) Describe how to use the XIP Builder™ and GUI engine to create XIP Applications from modules in the XIP Libraries. 4) Understand the concepts of DICOM Application Hosting and its impact.

The eXtensible Imaging Platform (XIP™) is an open source framework supporting rapid development of imaging and visualization applications. In this ‘hands on’ tutorial participants will dissect a fully functional XIP™ application to see firsthand how developers utilize XIP's visual ‘drag-and-drop’ programming tool (the XIP Builder™) and associated libraries (the XIP Libraries™) in creating applications. In addition to functions from the popular ITK and VTK libraries, the XIP Libraries include modules tailored for medical imaging, many of which are hardware accelerated via GPU programming (e.g., OpenGL® GLSL or OpenCL or CUDA C). Applications created with XIP can either run standalone, or as DICOM Hosted Applications. Through the DICOM Application Hosting interfaces (DICOM WG-23), a Hosting System, such as the XIP Host™, relieves the application developer from the need to re-implement infrastructure common to all applications (e.g. DICOM network connectivity, database, etc.). We will demonstrate how users execute Hosted Applications, such as those created with the XIP Libraries, via the XIP Host.
