What is MICFlow?
Medical Image Computing Workflow (MICFlow) is a simple, lightweight but flexible, extensible and powerful computing workflow system aiming to automate large quantity and/or time-consuming medical image computing tasks such as segmentation, registration and analysis. The system consists of three components: workflow engine, definition files, and workflow script language, all of which are written in Python. Naturally Python is the basis of the workflow script language. This makes any script and definition file in the workflow system possess the same power and extensibility as a standalone python program. Workflow being directly debuggable is the big feature of MICFlow. It is also easy and flexible: you can just use any Python debug tool and IDE, such as Wing IDE, IDLE, DrPython, BOA Constructor, or Python's pdb module to debug a workflow. I use Wing IDE with which debugging is like a breeze in a manor similar to MATLAB IDE.
MICFlow is open source under GPL-like license.
