As part of work with the Software Sustainability Institute, BRIC-Edinburgh now has two of its products on SourceForge - DICOM Confidential and the Automatic Lesion Extractor.

DICOM Confidential takes sensitive medical data and removes any information that allows patients to be identified. SSI reviewed the sustainability of DICOM Confidential and one of its proposals was a move to SourceForge to encourage its use and uptake and to allow support to be managed more easily. Visit the DICOM Confidential project site.

MCMxxxVI (1936) (Multispectral Colour Modulation and Variance Identification) is a suite of image manipulation and analysis tools. It allows different medical images generated by MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners to be colourised and fused together, manipulated in various ways and tissues of interest to be identified and extracted. Working with BRIC-Edinburgh, SSI ported one such tool, the Automatic Lesion Extractor, from MATLAB to C++ and created a new SourceForge project to host it. Visit the BRIC1936 project site which hosts the the Automatic Lesion Extractor.
