mitk: Python bindings for MITK
The mitk package exposes the data structures and core utilities of the
Medical Imaging Interaction Toolkit (MITK) to Python.
It ships as a self-contained wheel that bundles the compiled MITK runtime
together with its native dependencies like ITK, VTK, and DCMTK, so
you can pip install it and start working with medical images without
building MITK from source.
Installation
pip install mitk-python
The PyPI distribution is named mitk-python; the import name is mitk.
Quick start
import mitk
import numpy as np
img = mitk.Image(np.zeros((64, 64, 64), dtype=np.float32), spacing=(1.0, 1.0, 2.5))
img.save("output.nrrd")
loaded = mitk.Image("output.nrrd")
print(loaded.shape, loaded.spacing, loaded.origin)
Documentation
The Python API (classes, functions, NumPy interop, file I/O, geometry, properties) is documented at mitk-python.readthedocs.io/en/2026.06/.
The wider MITK stack (C++ modules, plugins, the application framework) is documented at docs.mitk.org/2026.06/.
