=== '''Step 3: Install IGSTK''' ===
 
−
IGSTK is used to acquire tracking data from NDI Aurora tracking system.
 
−
* If you can find a proper binary here for your computer, download the file and unzip it to igt-tutorial. You should find directory '''IGSTKSandbox-build''':
 
−
** For Linux box (x86, 32-bit), click [[Media:IGSTKSandbox.tgz|'''here''']].
 
−
** For Windows box (32-bit), click '''here'''.
 
−
** For Mac box, click '''here'''.
 
−
* If you'd like to build IGSTK from the source code, [[IGT:ToolKit/Build-IGSTK|find the instructions here]].
 
  
−
=== '''Step 4: Connect NDI Aurora tracking device''' ===
 
−
* Set up your NDI Aurora tracking device
 
−
* Connect it to the computer where IGSTK will be run.
 
−
** By default, Aurora has only serial port connection.
 
−
** If your computer doesn't have a serial port, you need to have a serial-to-USB converter.

'''your-slicer3-build(install)-directory'''/Slicer3 (Linux/Mac) or
 
−
  '''your-slicer3-build(install)-directory'''/Slicer3.exe (Windows with Cygwin)
 
−
* Configure OpenIGTLink module in Slicer3
 
−
** In Slicer3, get to the interface of OpenIGTLink module
 
−
** Expand '''Connector Browser'''
 
−
** Press '''Add''' button to add a connector
 
−
** Click '''Server''' as the connector type
 
−
** Click '''Active''' for the connector
 
−
Now Slicer3 is ready to receive tracking data.
 
−
* Run IGSTK
 
−
** Cd to IGSTKSandbox-build
 
−
** Run this command
 
−
./bin/igstkSandboxTests igstkAuroraTrackerToolObserverToOpenIGTLinkRelayTest localhost 18944 10000 0 1
 
−
At this moment, the tracking data from NDI Aurora is being sent to Slicer3.
 
−
* Load a 3D image for navigation
 
−
** Download the data set from [http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/IGT:ToolKit]
 
−
** Load the SPGR volume into Slicer3
 
−
** Get to the interface of the Slicer3 data module
 
−
** Inside the MRML tree, drag the SPGR volume node under the transform node
 
−
* Do navigation
 
−
** Move the Aurora probe
 
−
** You should see the updated view of the SPGR image following the movement of probe
