Training Course: Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets

24th March 2025, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm

A 2-day training course covering Python scripting in Avizo (1 day) and development of Avizo Python module (1 day).

Venue: Hamilton Room, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Visitor Centre, Harwell Campus

Cost: £400 +VAT for academics, students, postdocs and government, £800 +VAT for industry.

Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke workflow for more complex materials.

Take your skills to the next level and register for this course which focuses on how to develop Python scripts and plugins in Avizo. You will practise on real case studies and learn how to automate a workflow on multiple images, transform Avizo objects into Numpy arrays (and vice versa), extend Avizo functionalities with powerful Python tools such as Simple ITK, and develop your own plugin.

The training is organised in two parts: Pyhton scripting in Avizo (1 day) and development of Avizo Python module (1 day). At the end of the second day, the users are invited to practise on their own dataset with the help of the trainers. The attendees are invited to bring their own laptop (an Avizo license will be provided for the training).

Courses generally fill up very quickly and places are allocated on a first come first serve basis. If there is low attendance, a course may be cancelled with a month’s notice.
