Home < OpenIGTLink

The goal of OpenIGTLink is to provide a standardized mechanism to connect software/hardware through the network for image-guided therapy (IGT) applications. The features of OpenIGTLink include:

  • Open. OpenIGTLink specifications are open and can be used for any applications, including commercial products, free of charge.
  • Simple. Developers can easily adapt their own software/hardware to OpenIGTLink specifications.
  • Platform independent. OpenIGTLink supports wide range of devices from embedded system to high performance computers.
  • Ready-to-use. OpenIGTLink is supported in NA-MIC's medical image processing and visualization platform 3D Slicer.


Recent updates.

Protocol

The OpenIGTLink protocol was originally developed in 2008. Currently, the extended protocol is being drafted and will be released as protocol version 2 early in 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.

OpenIGTlink: Version 1

  • This is the stable version of OpenIGTlink. It is recommended that you use this version, unless you are part of the development team.
  • Standard Protocol
