Area of Science:

Medical Imaging and Image-Guided Interventions
Software Engineering in Healthcare
Computational Anatomy

Background:

The rapid development of research software in medicine creates a challenge in identifying optimal tools.
The computer-assisted intervention (CAI) research community relies on specialized software for innovation.
Evaluating existing software is crucial for advancing medical research and development.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the most frequently used software within the computer-assisted intervention (CAI) research community.
To provide a comparative analysis of key software based on performance and usability criteria.
To guide researchers in selecting appropriate software and inform developers on areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

Evaluation of eight selected CAI software programs: 3D Slicer, Elastix, ITK-SNAP, MedInria, MeVisLab, MIPAV, and Seg3D.
Assessment criteria included load time, stress load, multi-tasking, extensibility, functionalities, user-friendliness, documentation, and technical support.
Comparative analysis to determine overall rankings and identify strengths and weaknesses of each software.

Main Results:

No single software excelled in all evaluated criteria.
3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP received the highest overall rankings.
3D Slicer offers broad, customizable features, while ITK-SNAP excels in efficient core task performance.

Conclusions:

3D Slicer and ITK-SNAP are highly recommended for CAI research, often complementing each other.
Specific software choices should align with the unique requirements of individual research projects.
The findings offer valuable guidance for researchers and insights for software developers to enhance CAI tools.
