Objective

We are developing an augmented reality guidance system for percutaneous needle insertions.

Approach, Plan

We have developed a Slicer loadable module to operate the image overlay hardware.

Our plan for the project week is to make it work as a Slicer extension to provide easier update process for collaborators.

Progress

First working version of software for image overlay has been implemented.

During the project week, we compiled the module as an extension, uploaded to the extension server, and imported it with the Extension Manager.
