Objective
IGSTK provides connectivity with various kinds of tracking devices. However, IGSTK does not support communication with tracking devices over the network. The objective of this project is to establish Slicer-IGSTK connection through standard network to provides extensible and versatile way of configuration in image guided therapy.
Approach, Plan
Our approach is described by the references below. Our challenge is to build the ITK infrastructure (such as new ITK iterators) to support this algorithm. Our main purpose at the Project Week is to collaborate on new algorithms and clinical data to provide the best solutions for our DBP partners.
Progress
June 2007 Project Week
During the June 2007 Project Week, we designed communication framework for MRI-robot for Transperineum Prostate Brachytherapy (BRP Project/ PI: Dr. Clare Tempany), based on vtkIGTOpenTrackerStream.
