Use different postprocessing on acquired US images to improve image quality

[Sunderlandkyl]

This may be an idea for a student project in the future.

Stephen Aylward suggested that we look into this toolkit:
http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~rwp/stradx/
If it's not open-source now, Kitware can share their similar code if we want to integrate it into PLUS. It does homogeneity correction and/or corrects displacements due to varying pressure of the US probe on the tissue during scanning.

He also suggested to look into Danielle's work:
http://www.midasjournal.org/browse/publication/655
to see if we can harvest code/ideas.

StradX is not open-source. It would be interesting to know a bit more about what Kitware could contribute for the homogeneity/displacement correction.

We started from the Synchrograb4D version (Danielle's addition to Synchrograb), however the 4D add-on was removed due to increased complexity. With the multi-stream design it'll be easy to reintroduce 4D reconstruction (volume reconstruction of different heart phases) by adding a virtual splitter device.
