This module contains filters for use with the Insight Toolkit (ITK) that image formation and analysis of ultrasound images.

Python packages are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Install with:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install itk-ultrasound

Build against ITK 5 or later. ITK should be configured with Module_SplitComponents, Module_Strain, and Module_BSplineGradient set to ON.
