The general navigation system consists of the following components:
- Slicer3: the base platform for navigation
- IGT loadable modules: Software modules, pluginned into Slicer3, for supporting IGT specific functionality
- IGSTK: An interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices
- Tracking device: e.g. NDI Aurora tracking system
This tutorial explains how to set up these components to build and use a general purpose navigation system.
Step 1: Install Slicer3
Follow the instructions here to install Slicer3:
http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/IGT:ToolKit/Install-Slicer3
Step 2: Install OpenIGTLink module
OpenIGTLink protocol handles data communication between Slicer3 and tracking device (Click here for details). As a loadable module in Slicer3, OpenIGTLink will receive tracking data from the NDI Aurora system.
- If you can find a proper binary here for your computer, download it and unzip the file:
- If you'd like to build OpenIGTLink module from the source code, find the instructions here.
- Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
- You should see OpenIGTLink in the Slicer3 module list after Slicer is started.
