MITK Logo

The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) is a free open-source software system for development of interactive medical image processing software. MITK combines the Insight Toolkit (ITK) and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) with an application framework.

The links below provide high-level and reference documentation targeting different usage scenarios:

See the MITK homepage for details.

Supported platforms

MITK is a cross-platform C++ toolkit and officially supports:

  • Windows
  • Linux
  • macOS

For details, please read the Supported Platforms page.

Copyright (c) German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). All rights reserved.

MITK is available as free open-source software under a 3-clause BSD license.

Download

The MitkWorkbench application and a bunch of command-line apps are released twice per year on our Download page and the GitHub Releases page.

The official MITK source code is available in the MITK Git repository. The Git clone command is

git clone https://github.com/MITK/MITK.git

Active development takes place in the MITK develop branch and its usage is advised for advanced users only.

How to contribute

Contributions are encouraged. To make the contribution process as smooth as possible, please read Contributing to MITK before.

Build instructions

MITK uses CMake to configure a build tree. The following is a crash course about cloning, configuring, and building MITK with Ninja on Linux or macOS when all prerequisites are met:

git clone https://github.com/MITK/MITK.git
mkdir MITK-superbuild
cmake -S MITK -B MITK-superbuild -G "Ninja" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build MITK-superbuild

On Windows, configuring and building with Visual Studio/MSBuild would look something like this:

cmake -S MITK -B MITK-superbuild -G "Visual Studio 17 2022"
cmake --build MITK-superbuild --config Release -- -m

Read the comprehensive build instructions page for details.

  The Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) is a free
  open-source software for the development of interactive
  medical image processing software. Based on MITK, we
  provide the MITK Workbench, a powerful and free
  application to view, process, and segment medical images,
  as well as a set of useful commandline applications for
  typical image processing tasks like image registration,
  conversion, stitching.
