SimpleITK is an image analysis toolkit with a large number of components supporting general filtering operations, image segmentation and registration. It is built on top of the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit [ITK](https://www.itk.org) with the intent of providing a simplified interface to ITK. SimpleITK itself is written in C++ but is available for a large number of programming languages. Currently, these include:

* [Python](http://www.python.org)

* [R](https://www.r-project.org)

* [Java](http://www.java.com)

* [C#](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/default.aspx)

* [Lua](http://www.lua.org)

* [TCL](https://www.tcl.tk/)

* [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)

Wrapping of the C++ code is accomplished through [SWIG](http://www.swig.org), in principle, any language wrapped by SWIG should be applicable to SimpleITK.

Unlike ITK's support of n-dimensional spatio-temporal images, SimpleITK supports 2D, 3D and 4D images. The dimensionality refers to spatio-temporal dimensions, the voxels can be n-dimensional vectors.

Documentation

-------------

With massive libraries like SimpleITK, good documentation is a must. The documentation for SimpleITK is split up into multiple levels:

1. [API Documentation](https://simpleitk.org/doxygen/latest/html/) - This contains class and function documentation. The descriptions for functions and classes are primarily borrowed from the original ITK C++ classes.

2. [SimpleITK Documentation](http://simpleitk.readthedocs.io/en/master/) - This site contains high-level guides (fundamental SimpleITK concepts, common conventions, etc.), details with respect to the toolkit's binary distributions, instructions for building the toolkit, as well as SimpleITK examples in all supported programming languages. [This site replaced the

[SimpleITK Wiki](https://itk.org/Wiki/SimpleITK)  which is mostly of interest for historical reasons.]

3. [Jupyter Notebook Repository](http://insightsoftwareconsortium.github.io/SimpleITK-Notebooks/) - This repository contains a collection of Jupyter Notebooks illustrating the use of SimpleITK for educational and research activities. The notebooks demonstrate the use of SimpleITK for interactive image analysis using the Python and R programming languages. Recommended reading, if you are starting with SimpleITK.

Support

-------

SimpleITK provides access to most of the ITK components, but not all. If you are looking for something specific and can't find it, open an issue on GitHub or ask for support on the [forum](https://discourse.itk.org).
