The open-source framework is extensible through plug-ins and is focused on building research and clinical software prototypes.

GIMIAS provides a graphical user interface with all main data IO, visualization and interaction functions for images, meshes and signals.

[6] Is developed using C++ language, has a plug-in architecture, and is cross-platform by means of the standard CMake tool.

Automated GUI generation and extensible data object model allow to share plug-ins with other frameworks and empower interoperability.

[9] In 2010, more effort was done to empower the open source framework itself, providing more functionality like workflow manager, 3D Slicer plug-in compatibility, signal viewer and customizable views.
