Overview:
This tutorial uses a tracking simulator to explain how navigation works in Slicer3.
The general IGT navigation system consists of the following components:
- Slicer3 - the base platform
- OpenIGTLink module - a loadable software module plugged into Slicer3
- IGSTK - an interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices
- A tracking device - such as the NDI Aurora magnetic tracking system
The tracking simulator simulates the tracking device and the IGSTK interfacing software.
Those wishing to connect a real tracking system to Slicer3 should see the Advanced Navigation Tutorial.
Tutorial Materials
- Tutorial slides for the Basic Navigation Tutorial
- Atlas: download the .zip file from either the SPL-PNL Brain Atlas or the SPL Abdominal Atlas
- Tool model (right-click to download)
- If Windows saves the file as Tool.htm intstead of Tool.vtk: Select Start->Run, type "cmd", type "cd <directory where Tool.htm is>", type "move Tool.htm Tool.vtk"
Software Installation Instructions
Step 1: Install Slicer3
Go to the Slicer3 Install site.

Step 2: Install the OpenIGTLink module
OpenIGTLink is a communication protocol used to interface Slicer3 with external devices, such as trackers, imaging devices and robots. OpenIGTLink is currently distributed as a loadable module for Slicer3.
- Step 2a: You have the choice of either downloading a precompiled version (binary) OR building it yourself from the source code:
- Precompiled OpenIGTLink module (for use with Slicer 3.2): Download and unzip.
- Building the OpenIGTLink module from source code: Find the instructions here
- Step 2b:
- Windows: Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules/Debug
- Linux/Mac OS X: Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
- You should see the OpenIGTLink module in the Slicer3 module list once Slicer3 is started.
Step 3: Install the tracker simulator
The tracking simulator will be used to generate and send fake tracking data to Slicer3.
- You have the choice of either downloading a precompiled version (binary) OR building it yourself from the source code:
- Precompiled tracking simulator: Download and unzip.
- Building the tracker simulator from source code: Find the instructions here
