The goals of CTK are as follows:
<div style="float:right;">
* Provide a unified set of basic programming constructs that are useful for medical imaging applications development
<wikiscript type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ohloh.net/p/483293/widgets/project_basic_stats.js"></wikiscript>

* Document, integrate, and adapt successful solutions
* Avoid the duplication of code and data
* Continuously extend to new tasks within the scope of the toolkit (medical imaging) without burdening existing tasks

CTK - The Common Toolkit

<wikiscript type="text/javascript" src="http://www.ohloh.net/p/483293/widgets/project_basic_stats.js"></wikiscript>

The goal of CTK is to support biomedical image computing. CTK code is licensed under Apache 2.0. This means that users of CTK are allowed to use the code for academic, commercial, or other purposes without paying license fees or being restricted in their ability to redistribute their code or keep it private.

CTK works on topics that are not covered by existing toolkits that support the mutual interest and needs of the CTK community. The main scope of current CTK efforts includes the topics DICOM, DICOM Application Hosting, Widgets, and Plugin Framework.


DICOM
Provides high-level classes supporting query and retrieve operations from PACS and local databases. Includes Qt widgets to easily set-up a server connection and to send queries and view the results. DCMTK is used as the underlying toolkit.
