Software Development Kit
Build powerful applications with full control
The ImFusion SDK is a modular C++ software development kit designed for building advanced medical imaging applications. It gives engineers and researchers full access to high-performance algorithms and infrastructure—wrapped in a flexible, production-grade framework that runs across platforms.
- High-performance algorithms
- Flexible framework
- Cross-platform
It's included with the SDK!
Front end for interactive prototyping, visualization, and direct execution of your imaging workflows.
The technical details
The ImFusion SDK combines high-performance C++ libraries with scripting support, visual tools, and web-ready components—all in one modular package.
Cross-platform, cross-compiler, and ready for embedded platforms
Modular architecture: load only what you need, no unnecessary bloat
Plug-and-play setup: modern CMake support, no messy dependency chains
Production-proven algorithms trusted by research labs and commercial teams
Interactive prototyping
The ImFusion Suite provides a visual front end to the SDK, ideal for rapid experimentation with real-time feedback. Run and tune your algorithms directly on real data, visualize 2D/3D/4D results and interact with annotations and parameters through an intuitive UI.
Whether you’re debugging internal pipelines or showcasing results, the Suite accelerates development without writing GUI code. It’s also the easiest way to start using the SDK—just launch and go.
- Live visualization and debugging of algorithms
- Direct access to loaded data and plugin parameters
- Save and reuse complete workflows from the GUI
- Same back end code used in your final application
Fast scripting and integration
- Access to core imaging algorithms and modules from Python
- Efficient, NumPy-like operations using ImageMath
- Automate project setup and exports in ImFusion Labels
- Extend ImFusion Suite with your own Python tools
- Write and register new algorithms by simply dragging .py files into the UI
- Interact with data and annotations through the built-in Python REPL
Browser-based applications
The ImFusion SDK also offers a lightweight WebAssembly wrapper, making key imaging features available directly in web and mobile applications. This enables client-side solutions for tasks like DICOM viewing and basic image processing—without compromising performance.
The current bindings power a full-featured in-browser DICOM viewer with 2D and 3D capabilities. Additional bindings can be developed on request to fit your use case.

FAQ
1. What exactly is included with the ImFusion SDK?
The ImFusion SDK package includes the C++ SDK with core modules, the ImFusion Suite application for interactive prototyping, and the full Python SDK for scripting and automation. It also provides build tools (CMake), documentation, and optional WebAssembly bindings.
2. Can I use the SDK on my preferred platform or compiler?
Yes. The SDK supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is compatible with MSVC, GCC, and Clang. Embedded platform support (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson ARM) is available on request.
3. Is the ImFusion SDK suitable for commercial product development?
Absolutely. While the SDK itself is not CE- or FDA-certified, it’s already used in commercial products. We offer support services to help integrate the SDK into regulatory-compliant workflows, including assistance with documentation for certification.
4. What kind of workflows can I build with the Python SDK?
You can control any C++ SDK algorithm from Python, automate workflows, build ML pipelines, and even extend the ImFusion Suite UI. It’s perfect for rapid prototyping, data preprocessing, or bridging into larger Python-based systems.
5. Can I deploy imaging tools in the browser with the SDK?
Yes. A WebAssembly wrapper brings a subset of the SDK’s functionality—like DICOM viewing and 2D/3D visualization—into browser-based or mobile applications. We also offer support for developing additional WASM bindings based on your needs.
