UBUNTU - Linux for Human beings

Ubuntu  is a computer operating system based on the Debian Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software, using its own desktop environment. It is named after the Southern African philosophy of ubuntu ("humanity towards others").

As of 2012, according to online surveys, Ubuntu is the most popular Linux distribution on desktop/laptop personal computers, and most Ubuntu coverage focuses on its use in that market. However, it is also popular on servers and for cloud computing.

Ubuntu is sponsored by the UK-based company Canonical Ltd., owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical generates revenue by selling technical support and services related to Ubuntu, while the operating system itself is entirely free of charge. The Ubuntu project is committed to the principles of free software development; people are encouraged to use free software, improve it, and distribute it.

DICOM READER

 Ginkgo CADx

Ginkgo CADx is a multi-platform Open Source Medical Imaging software which provides a complete DICOM Viewer solution with advanced capabilities and extensions support.

Highlights

• Multiplatform (Windows, Linux, MacOS) and portable (no installation required).
• Easy and customizable interface throught profiles.
• Full featured DICOM Image Visualization.
  
  • Complete tool set (measure, markers, text, ...).
  • Multiple modalities support (Neurological, Radiological, Dermathological, Ophthalmological, UltraSound, Endoscopy, Electrocardiogram ...)
• Dicomization support from JPEG, PNG, GIF and TIFF.
• Full EMH integration support: HL7 standard, XML-RPC and IHE compliant workflows.
• PACS Workstation (C-FIND, C-GET, C-MOVE, C-STORE...)
• 3D reconstruction (volume and surface reconstruction)
• Extensible throught custom Extensions.
  • Computer aided retinal diseases diagnosis.
  • Computer aided psoriasis diagnosis.
  • Video integration.
  • Deployed working-stations management.

Extensible design

Ginkgo CADx solutions are final applications built over Ginkgo CADx Framework. You can set up your custom solution by just plugging as many specific modules as you could need.

Extensions allow you to expand the capabilities of Ginkgo CADx for your personal needs. Extensions are both free/commercial plugins that provide advanced features such as image analytics based auto-diagnosis.
Ginkgo CADx Core or just Ginkgo CADx is the open source application itself, providing common generic features as visualization, dicomization, reporting, integration, import, export, print and PACS communication.

OSCAR

Open Source Cluster Application Resources

OSCAR allows users to install a Beowulf type high performance computing cluster. Beowulf Clusters are scalable performance clusters based on commodity hardware, on a private system network, with an open source software (Linux) infrastructure. The OSCAR project aims to support as many different Linux distributions as possible. Supported Linux distributions as mentioned on the OSCAR website are Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu.

XML-RPC

It's a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet.

It's remote procedure calling using HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.

To know more use the following links.

pyro

Pyro is short for PYthon Remote Objects. It is an advanced and powerful Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, that is designed to be very easy to use. Never worry about writing network communication code again, when using Pyro you just write your Python objects like you would normally. With only a few lines of extra code, Pyro takes care of the network communication between your objects once you split them over different machines on the network. All the gory socket programming details are taken care of, you just call a method on a remote object as if it were a local object.

Know IPython

Just like any other programming language IPython also can be used for general calculations and computations.Apart from these IPython can also be used for Signal Processing.
Most of the institutions use MATLAB for this.As the software belongs to a private firm looking for income from the software MATLAB is not affordable.But IPython is

* free as beer,
* free as speech &

*exceptionally stable

=>If you want a copy IPython please use our Downloads page

Examples:

Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)

We can compute & observe the FFT of y by the following code

from scipy import *
from numpy import *
from matplotlib import *
from pylab import *
x=range(1,100)
y=sin(x)
z=fft(y)
stem(x,abs(z),"r")
grid("True")
show()

It will return the stem plot of spectrum of a random sine wave.

Amplitude Modulation
The amplitude modulation can be shown as

from scipy import *
from numpy import *
from matplotlib import *
from pylab import *
t=r_[0:1:0.001]
mod=cos(2*pi*80*t)
carr=cos(2*pi*800*t)
am=carr*mod +carr
pylab.figure(1)
plot(t,am)
grid("True")
title("Amplitude Modulation")
xlabel("Time")
ylabel("Voltage")
pylab.figure(2)

subplot(211)
plot(range(0,len(am)),fft(am))
grid("True")
xlabel("Time")
ylabel("Voltage")
subplot(212)
plot(range(0,len(carr)),fft(carr))
grid("True")
title("Amplitude Modulation")
xlabel("Time")
ylabel("Voltage")
show()
