The Insight Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration. Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying data found in a digitally sampled representation. Typically the sampled representation is an image acquired from such medical instrumentation as CT or MRI scanners. Registration is the task of aligning or developing correspondences between data. For example, in the medical environment, a CT scan may be aligned with a MRI scan in order to combine the information contained in both.

ITK 5.4 Release Candidate 4: ALL THE DICOMs.
We are happy to announce the Insight Toolkit (ITK) 5.4 Release Candidate 4 is available for testing! :tada: ITK is an open-source, cross-platform toolkit for N-dimensional scientific image processing, segmentation, and registration.
Highlights.
The Insight Toolkit (ITK) has further enhanced its DICOM capabilities in the latest release, building on over 25 years of extensive clinical usage and application. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is a valuable standard handling, storing, printing, and transmitting information in medical imaging. It includes a wide range of medical data types and allows for various imaging modalities and workflow information, posing significant challenges due to its extensive support for diverse medical content and variations in vendor implementations and adherence to the standard.
This release introduces expanded support for additional modality features and crucial spatial metadata for Secondary Capture images. ITK significantly improves the way medical imaging data is processed and interpreted and ensures robust support for diverse DICOM applications.

The development of ITK s DICOM support is a testament to a robust community-driven effort involving ITK developers, maintainers from DICOM library projects such as GDCM and DCMTK, and curators of the DICOM standard. This release includes collaborative contributions from notable community members including Mikhail Isakov, Jon Haitz Legarreta Gorroño, Sean McBride, Martin Hoßbach, Mathieu Malaterre, Michael Onken, Steve Pieper, Andras Lasso, David Clunie, and Andrey Fedorov.
