Panoramica
ALBA and AlbaMaster
ALBA (Agile Library for Biomedical Applications) is an open-source software framework designed for biomedical imaging, biomechanical modeling, and scientific data visualization. AlbaMaster, built on top of ALBA, is a ready-to-use application that enables researchers, engineers, and clinicians to explore complex biomedical datasets within an integrated, flexible, and reproducible environment.
Overview
ALBA provides a modular infrastructure for managing heterogeneous biomedical data, including medical images, 3D anatomical models, finite element simulations, and motion analysis data. The framework facilitates rapid development of biomedical applications while ensuring robust visualization, data integration, and reproducible research workflows.
AlbaMaster demonstrates these capabilities in a practical software environment, showing how advanced biomedical applications can be developed efficiently without building core visualization and data management components from scratch.
