Software functions
| Function | Slicer | RadVision |
| Workphase command | OK | OK |
| "SET_Z_FRAME" command | OK* | OK |
| "MOVE_TO" command | OK* | OK |
| "GET_COORDINATE" command | OK* | OK |
| "GET_STATUS" command | not implemented | OK |

| Real-time image transfer | OK | OK* |
| Real-time image control | OK | OK*(orientation is not supported) |
| Z-frame calibration | implemented* (with visualization) | implemented (not integrated with comunication) |
* ... implemented during the IGT Week
Experiments
- Results
- Followed clinical procedures
- All communications (based on OpenIGTLink) went well.
- Performed needle insertion into prostate phantom
- Confirmed that the needle is inserted around the targeted position on the real-time image
- Issues
- Robot actuator was not used due to minor mechanical trouble. (robot was moved manually)
- Pulse sequence and parameters should be carefully chosen for Z-frame calibration
- Sudden deaths of robot control software, while changing workphase rigorously from Slicer
- A minor problem in the definition of OpenIGTLink message (GET_COORDINATE message violate limitation of type string length)
