OpenIGTLink is a simple data format and protocol for seamless network communication among software and devices used in image-guided therapy (IGT), including surgical navigation software, tracking devices, robotic devices, and imaging scanners. The OpenIGTLink protocol is supported in NA-MIC's medical image processing and visualization platform [http://slicer.org/ 3D Slicer].

=Protocol=
 
<hr/>
 
The OpenIGTLink protocol was originally developed in 2008. Currently, the extended protocol is being drafted and will be released as protocol version 2 early 2011. The OpenIGTLink protocol is '''backward compatible''', in the sense that all messages generated by software with OpenIGTLink version 1 interfaces can be imported by software with version 2 interfaces.
