	abstract = {Many organizations are working in developing coun- tries to support local health care organizations and infrastructure to provide sustainable, community-based health care. This requires not only the influx of medical staff and supplies, but also requires maintaining individual health care records and enabling the ability to collect, analyze and aggregate data in the field to customize care to the local needs of the community, and to provide continuity of care to its citizens. The recent rise of adoption of standards for electronic health records(EHR) provides an alternative to using paper forms in mobile health clinics that often serve these countries. In this paper, we describe an open-source, standards-based health assessment software application developed by the non-profit organization Health Records For Everyone (HR4E) and field tested in a mobile health clinic in rural Ethiopia in the fall of 2011. The application allows mobile health clinic staff to quickly deploy medical clinics and collect patient data electronically in the face of various environmental challenges. In addition to producing electronic patient records which are validated in-field using HL7{\textquoteright}s Clinical Document Architecture standard, the application allows medical practitioners to view and summarize patient data for in-field analysis.},

	abstract = {We present a new version of STIR (Software for Tomographic Image Reconstruction), an open source object-oriented library implemented in C++~for 3D positron emission tomography reconstruction. This library has been designed such that it can be used for many algorithms and scanner geometries, while being portable to various computing platforms. This second release enhances its flexibility and modular design and includes additional features such as Compton scatter simulation, an additional iterative reconstruction algorithm and parametric image reconstruction (both indirect and direct). We discuss the new features in this release and present example results. STIR can be downloaded from http://stir.sourceforge.net.},

	abstract = {Although non-rigid registration methods are available or under development for many specific problems in medicine, rigid and affine registration is an important task that is often performed for pre-aligning images before using non-rigid registration. In this paper, we present a free and open-source application for rigid and affine image registration, which is designed both for developers and for end-users. The application is based on the Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) and allows for inter-modality and intra-modality rigid 2D-2D and 3D-3D registration of medical images such as CT, MRI, or ultrasound. The framework as well as the application can be easily extended by adding new transforms, metrics and optimizers. Thus, developers of new algorithms are enabled to test and use their algorithms more quickly, spending less work on user interfaces. Additionally, the framework provides the possibility to use image masks to restrict the evaluation of metric values by the optimizer on certain areas of the images.},

	abstract = {Interpreting and controlling bioelectromagnetic phenomena require realistic physiological models and accurate numerical solvers. A semi-realistic model often used in practise is the piecewise constant conductivity model, for which only the interfaces have to be meshed. This simplified model makes it possible to use Boundary Element Methods. Unfortunately, most Boundary Element solutions are confronted with accuracy issues when the conductivity ratio between neighboring tissues is high, as for instance the scalp/skull conductivity ratio in electro-encephalography. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed a new method called the symmetric BEM, which is implemented in the OpenMEEG software. The aim of this paper is to present OpenMEEG, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view, and to compare its performances with other competing software packages.},
