what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Align CT and MR scans of the same patient so they overlay for combined analysis.

VIBE 2

Plan a complex surgery, such as brain or spine, using combined multi-scan imagery.

VIBE 3

Track anatomical changes across multiple scans of a patient over time for disease research.

VIBE 4

Build a step-by-step image registration pipeline instead of a single monolithic algorithm.

what's the stack?

how do i run it?

Difficulty · hard time til it works · 1day+

README is minimal, technical documentation likely lives in the code, and medical imaging tooling can require additional setup.
