The First Implementation of OpenIGTLink, January 2008
OpenIGTLink protocol provides plug-and-play connectivity to tracking devices, imagers (MR, ultrasound ...) and other medical devices. A real-time image transfer to the Slicer in 10 fps is demonstrated in the screenshot.

In the NAMIC All Hands Meeting 2008, the bi-directional socket communication has been established between the Tracker Daemon in Slicer 3 and IGSTK server which acquires tracking data from device and sends it to Tracker Daemon. The speed of communication is controlled by Slicer.

Slice viewers can be used to specify oblique reformats using the 'Reformat' orientation (instead of axial, coronal, sagittal) and CTRL-Right-Button-Move
(subject to change).

The FreeSurfer colour lookup table has been added to the Slicer3 FreeSurfer Library. A curvature overlay file was loaded and displayed on bert/surf/lh.pial as loaded in via the Models module.
Image from naucoin on Friday, September 08, 2006 at 11:24am
The FreeSurfer scalar reader has been integrated as a Slicer 3 Library, and surfaces can be read via the Models module. Shot shows standard bert/surf/lh.pial plus a test script to load the annotation labels file.

Shows that a single pixel voxel in black is exactly bounded by a unit cube in RAS space. Also the blinking eye buttons for slice visiblility are hooked up and there is now a red-yellow-green color coding for the slice windows (carried over from slicer2).

Test of the new logo widget for adding module-specific watermark logos directly in the 3d view. Uses a vtkLogoWidget from VTK cvs head. Kitware is working on cmake support to notify developers when a VTK cvs update is needed. Once that is done, the logo code will be added to slicer3 svn.
