OpenIGTLink/Slicer

Current Implementation

• Open IGT Link is implemented in the similar way as Slicer Daemon
• The source cede is available from Slicer3 IGT branch

TODO

• OpenIGTLink Client
  • Most of devices (e.g. MR scanner, robot) are waiting for connection from navigation software
  • Slicer needs GUI interface to set up address/port for OpenIGTLink connection
• Data export through OpenIGTLink
  • Each module send out image/coordinate data through MRML node
    • OpenIGTLink module monitors MRML nodes
• Connection Management Interface on Slicer 3
• Connection to IGSTK
  • IGSTK only supports Tracker Daemon
• Integration with clinical modules
  • NeuroNav
  • ProstateNav modules
