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 a general navigation system with a tracking simulator.
Step 1: Install Slicer3
- Download one of the Slicer3 binaries (version 3.2 release)
- Unzip or install the Slicer3 on your computer
Step 2: Install OpenIGTLink module
- Download one of the following binaires of OpenIGTLink module. These binaries have been tested working in Slicer3.2.
- Unzip the binary and copy all files into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
- You should see OpenIGTLink in the Slicer3 module list after Slicer is started.
Step 3: Install tracker simulator
This is a dummy client program to send coordinate data to the slicer Open IGT Link module.
