My internship at the ICAR institute (CNR) gave me the opportunity to work on some interesting projects, one of them being a software named MITO (Medical Imaging TOolkit).

I’m always proud of the projects I work on, even more if those projects are contributing to the opensource cause and managed by some public funded research institute!
