+		SimpleITK is an image analysis toolkit with a large number of components
+		supporting general filtering operations, image segmentation and registration.
+		It is built on top of the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit ITK
+		with the intent of providing a simplified interface to ITK. SimpleITK itself
+		is written in C++ but is available for a large number of programming
+		languages.
