'''ITK''' ('''Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit''') is a free open-source software toolkit for performing segmentation (the identification and classification of data found in a digitally sampled representation) and registration (the alignment of data between two disparate sources), typically in images acquired from one or more [[Imaging informatics#Diagnostic imaging modalities|imaging modalities]].<ref name="ITKAbout">{{cite web |url=http://www.itk.org/ITK/project/about.html |title=ITK - About |publisher=Kitware, Inc |accessdate=10 June 2010}}</ref> It should be noted this software is a toolkit meant to develop an imaging application and is not an imaging application itself.

==Product history==
In 1999, the [[National Institutes of Health]]'s U.S. National Library of Medicine awarded a three-year contract to the Insight Software Consortium to develop an open-source registration and segmentation toolkit for [[Medical imaging|imaging]] data. The consortium was made up of three commercial partners: GE Corporate R&D, Kitware, Inc., and MathSoft (now known as Insightful). It was also made up of three academic partners in the University of North Carolina, University of Tennessee, and University of Pennsylvania.<ref name="ITKAbout" /> On January 24, 2000, the first commit was made to the project's new GitHub repository.<ref name="ITKGitFirstCom">{{cite web |url=https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/commit/9eff002d378222d1c111afdf0eb5bae5f2f0aaeb |title=ENH: added README |publisher=GitHub |date=24 January 2000 |accessdate=10 June 2014}}</ref> Several beta release were made to GitHub before the first stable release of the software arrived as version 1.0.0 on October 24, 2000.<ref name="ITKStart" /> After the contract was up, Kitware, Inc. continued as "an active participant, contributing not only technical developments but also building and strengthening the community."<ref name="ITKKitware">{{cite web |url=http://www.kitware.com/opensource/itk.html |title=The Insight Toolkit |publisher=Kitware, Inc |accessdate=10 June 2014}}</ref>

{{As of|2014}}, ITK is still being developed with the help of Kitware and funding from the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.<ref name="ITKPart">{{cite web |url=http://www.itk.org/ITK/project/parti.html |title=ITK - Participants |publisher=Kitware, Inc |accessdate=10 June 2010}}</ref>
