Community Tooling Guide (coming soon!)¶
We will also be creating a RAP @ Hawkes community tooling guide to highlight our experience using common medical imaging and software tools with a traffic light system! Please do get in touch if you have any that you would like to share.
Resources¶
Helpful external resources mentioned throughout the series will be added to the resources page. We have also compiled a specific list for VS code extensions used frequently within the medical imaging community.
If you have any suggestions or ideas on how we can improve this site, let us know!
