Home < IGT:ToolKit

The Image Guided Therapy Toolkit is a toolkit being developed at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. The IGT toolkit is a set of open source software tools integrated with supported hardware devices: www.slicer.org 3D Slicer is our main platform for software development and dissemination, and OpenIGTLink is a communication protocol that allows Slicer3 to communicate with imaging devices, trackers and medical robots. We encourage you to download and use the free tools and welcome any comments or feedback.

Tutorials

See the Slicer3 Training page for additional tutorials on Slicer3 capabilities.

Level	Tutorial	Hardware Requirements	Tutorial
1	Basic Navigation Tutorial Illustrates Slicer3's tracking capabilities using a tracking simulator in place of an actual tracking device	None
1	Neurosurgical Planning in Slicer3 Demonstrate's Slicer3's IGT capabilities by using image registration, model making and DTI to create a preoperative plan for neurosurgery	None
1	Prostate Therapy Planning in Slicer3 Demonstrates Slicer3's IGT capabilities by using deformable registration and model making to create a preoperative plan for prostate therapy	None
1	Lego IGT and Medical Robotics Tutorial Provides an overview of all of the main components of IGT and medical robotics, including imaging, pre-operative planning, targetting by tracking, navigation and registration	Lego Mindstorms NXT robot Lego Deluxe Brick Box
2	Advanced Navigation Tutorial with a tracking device Illustrates Slicer3's tracking capabilities using a tracking device, and provides a more advanced overview of the OpenIGTLink protocol	Tracking device e.g. NDI Aurora
