Debian Med packages for medical physicists

This metapackage contains dependencies for a collection of software and documentation which is useful for medical physicists in radiation oncology, diagnostics imaging and related fields.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Med Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Med which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

Per una migliore visione d'insieme della disponibilità del progetto come pacchetto Debian, ogni riga ha un colore codificato secondo il seguente schema:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Med to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Med mailing list

Octave è un linguaggio di alto livello (per la maggior parte compatibile con Matlab(R)) orientato principalmente al calcolo numerico. Fornisce una comoda interfaccia a riga di comando per risolvere numericamente problemi lineari e non.

Octave usa alcune delle migliori e più accreditate librerie numeriche come balgen, dassl, eispack, fftpack, lapack, linpack, minpack, odepack, ranlib, slatec-fn e villad. Octave può essere esteso dinamicamente con file C++ creati dall'utente.

CERNLIB è una suite di strumenti e librerie per l'analisi dati, pensati per l'uso in sperimentazioni di fisica ma applicabili anche ad altri campi come ad esempio le scienze biologiche.

PAW è un programma interattivo che fornisce strumenti per presentazioni grafiche interattive e per analisi matematiche e statistiche. È progettato per lavorare su oggetti familiari per i fisici, come istogrammi, file evento (n-tuple), vettori, ecc.

Il programma, per funzionare in modo corretto su architetture a 64 bit, include le librerie CERN statiche poiché il modo in cui è stato progettato non è totalmente compatibile con tale architettura.

CERNLIB è una suite di strumenti e librerie per l'analisi dati, pensati per l'uso in sperimentazioni fisiche ma applicabili anche ad altri campi come ad esempio le scienze biologiche.

Questo pacchetto include Paw++, un programma interattivo per l'uso nelle analisi e nelle presentazioni grafiche. Paw++ è lo stesso programma di PAW (nel pacchetto "paw"), ma con un'interfaccia grafica più gradevole, basata su Motif, compilata con Lesstif in Debian.

Il programma è staticamente collegato alle librerie CERN su architetture a 64 bit per poter funzionare correttamente, poiché il suo disegno non è propriamente un 64 bit pulito.

R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files.

The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers & Wilks' S and Sussman's Scheme. Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.

The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows branching and looping as well0;115;0c as modular programming using functions. Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is possible for the user to interface to procedures written in the C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R's core functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of statistical procedures and underlying applied math computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data presentations.

Additionally, over thousand extension "packages" are available from CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also as Debian packages, named 'r-cran-'.

This package is a metapackage which eases the transition from the pre-1.5.0 package setup with its larger r-base package. Once installed, it can be safely removed and apt-get will automatically upgrade its components during future upgrades. Providing this packages gives a way to users to then only install r-base-core if they so desire.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: texmacs

This package provides the core GNU R system from which only the optional documentation packages r-base-html, r-doc-html, r-doc-pdf and r-doc-info have been split off to somewhat reduce the size of this package.

Gate - wnpp
Geant4 Application for Emission Tomography
Responsabile: Nicolas Spalinger
License: LGPL
pacchetto Debian non disponibile

GATE incorporates the Geant4 libraries in a modular, versatile, and scripted simulation toolkit which is adapted to the field of nuclear medicine both in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography). It allows the accurate description of time-dependent phenomena such as source or detector movement and source decay kinetics. The ability to synchronize all time-dependent components allows a coherent description of the acquisition process. It makes it possible to perform realistic simulations of data acquisitions in time.

Biosig
library for biomedical signal processing
License: GPL
pacchetto Debian non disponibile

BioSig is an open source software library for biomedical signal processing, featuring for example the analysis of biosignals such as the electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocorticogram (ECoG), electrocardiogram (ECG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), respiration, and so on. Major application areas are: Neuroinformatics, brain-computer interfaces, neurophysiology, psychology, cardiovascular systems and sleep research. The aim of the BioSig project is to foster research in biomedical signal processing by providing open source software tools for many different applications. Generally, many concerns have to be addressed in this scientific field. BioSig handles this by providing solutions for data acquisition, artifact processing, quality control, feature extraction, classification, modeling, data visualization, and so on.

BioSig consists of some (more or less) coherent parts, for more details take a look at the project page:

  • BioSig for Octave and Matlab (biosig4octmat): A toolbox for Octave and Matlab with powerful data import and export filters, feature extraction algorithms, classification methods, and a powerful viewing and scoring software.
  • BioSig for C/C++ (biosig4c++) containing: reading and writing routines for different biosignal data formats.
  • libbiosig - a library for reading and writing of a number of data formats. libbiosig is used by save2gdf, mexSLOAD and SigViewer
  • save2gdf - a converter between different data formats, and can be used to show the header information
  • mexSLOAD is a MEX-interface for loading biosignal data into Octave (its much faster than the pure M-tools from biosig4octmat). It requires Octave-headers and libbiosig
  • SigViewer (sigviewer): A stand-alone viewing and scoring software for biosignals (especially for EEG signals) based on C++ and the platform-independent GUI toolkit Qt 4.
  • rtsBCI (rtsbci): A real-time BCI system implemented in Matlab and Simulink.
  • BioProFeed (bioprofeed)
  • BCIx (bcix)
