Agenda

• Steve suggested:
  • going through the vvlink and openigtlink protocols
    • identifying areas places where igtl can be expanded
    • finding gaps in vvlink that will need workaround (image orientation - Xenios has heuristics for this)
  • reviewing options for the vv/igtl proxy server
    • should this be on a stand alone machine?
    • do we make this proxy code into a project of it's own or part of igtl library
    • write any test code to move the vv/igtl proxy concept along (how can we use the demo from the project week as the basis for something that can be used clinically?)
  • Xenios feedback on igtl library software and use cases (he ended up using the C code and not the C++)
  • collect practical feedback on vvlink in the OR from Yale's experience
  • get demos of Yale software and discuss interoperability options and possible funding mechanisms.

Referencees

• New Open IGT Link protocol draft
