Key Investigators

• BWH: Ben Schwartz, Scott Hoge, Renxin Xu, Jun-ichi Tokuda

Objective

I would like to use the RTHawk software library to implement MR navigation, using external position information in lieu of navigator echoes.

Approach, Plan

Pester, nag.

Progress

We have (1) a low-latency 1-D US position sensor that spits out OpenIGTLink transforms, (2) an OpenIGTLink->RTHawk proxy, and (3) a modified FGRE pulse sequence that accepts RTHawk position updates.
