re: VTK + VS2010

It turns out to be very simple once you have downloaded CMAKE (http://www.cmake.org).

Select the version of VS you have installed in your computer or would like it to be converted to.  Then, click configure and generate.

openCL + OSX: Introduction

If you are like me always wander, you might wonder how openCL works in OSX.

Luckily, if you have 10.6 or later, your os is equipped with openCL, no need to fiddle through ./configure make and at the end, a bunch of fiery errors.

And, very fortunately, they have sample codes:

[ios] Adding a new sound to the Mixer

Adding a new sound to the mixer looks complicated but it's actually quite easy.

Based on the sample project, MixerHost, you will need to make some changes.

0) in MixerHostAudio.h
i) change file number accordingly

1) in MixerHostAudio.m
i) add a new NSUrl to the bundle resource
ii) modify enableMixerInput, such that it knows what to do when an extra input is on
iii) change the busCount accordingly

2) in MixerHostViewController (.h, .m)
i) Add switches and faders accordingly.

re: DICOM LUT for WW/WL-tuning

If you want to know why there's the need for the pointers.... Read below:


The need for the pointer because, you would not need to traverse NxM(width x height), but instead, you probably just need to traverse window_min to window_max.
But initially, you need to set the ptrs of each pixel to the gray_scale arrays.

Email me, if you want more details.  Or leave comments.
