The Medical Image Registration ToolKit (MIRTK), the successor of the IRTK, contains common CMake build configuration files, core libraries, and basic command-line tools. Extension packages are hosted by the MIRTK GitHub group at
The currently named ImageIO module at the moment only provides image file readers and writers. However, given that the MIRTK can deal with images and point sets, it would be good to have a less specific name such as simply IO module which later on can also contain readers and writers for point sets. I am thinking in particular about the GIFTI format and the current wrappers of the VTK IO filters in the PointSet module. A separate PointSetIO module would be possible, but either there may be an overlap (VTK IO filters are there for both images and point sets) or the number of classes will always be rather limited.
