# ITK Point-of-Care Ultrasound (ITKPOCUS)



## About

ITK Point-of-Care Ultrasound (ITKPOCUS) is an open source (Apache 2.0) collection of software libraries for the preprocessing and streaming of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) devices in order to support image processing and AI.  It currently has levels of support for Clarius, Butterfly, Sonivate, Sonoque, and Interson probes.

A version of our automatic algorithm for optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurement (Moore et al. 2020) has been published [here](https://github.com/KitwareMedicalPublications/2020-MICCAI-ASMUS-Automatic-ONSD). 

The ONSD estimation work is still active and updates will be pushed to this repository in the near future.

ITKPOCUS is developed by [Kitware, Inc.](https://www.kitware.com) in collaboration with Duke University.  This effort was sponsored by the U.S. Government under Other Transactions Number W81XWH-15-9-0001/W81XWH-19-9-0015 (MTEC 19-08-MuLTI-0079).

## Usage

See the individual device folders for additional documentation.  Streaming APIs are dependent on the manufacturer's API (e.g. Android/Java for Clarius, MFC C++ for Sonivate, C++ for Interson).  The toolkit wraps the native device APIs to the [OpenIGTLink](http://openigtlink.org) message protocol.  The folder [itkpocus](itkpocus) contains the _itkpocus_ Python library for preprocessing video files.  Video files from the various manufacturers are converted into Insight Toolkit ([ITK](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK)) ```itk.Image``` objects and file formats for image processing.

## Roadmap

### Always

* Contributions for other device support

### Q3-Q4 2021

* Automated quality assessment using the [CIRS-040GSE](https://www.cirsinc.com/products/ultrasound/zerdine-hydrogel/multi-purpose-multi-tisse-ultrasound-phantom/) phantom

* Examples using [MONAI](https://monai.io/)

### 2022

* Automated optic nerve sheath measurement
