CTK supports the common use of medical imaging software developments on
different levels (not all of these levels are available yet).
This ranges from loosely coupled applications (level 1: basically data exchange) to more and more tight integration (level 2: parameter exchange; level 3: exchange of events; level 4: exchange of services; level 5: complete integration).
