View source for MICCAI2013 SlicerIGT Tutorial Plan

=Objective=
*Hands-on session to learn how to use Slicer + Plus platform in IGT research

=Logistics=
==Organizers (TBD)==
*Queen's University
**Andras Lasso
**Tamas Ungi
**Csaba Pinter
**Gabor Fichtinger
*BWH
**Junichi Tokuda
**Nobuhiko Hata
**Sonia Pujol
**Ron Kikinis
*MGH
**Gregory Sharp

==Date (TBD)==
* September 14-18, 2014
* full-day or half-day?
*** Full-day would be good for those who have already decided to use Slicer+Plus as their research platform
*** Full-day might not be so attractive for those who just want to see what Slicer and Plus can do. 

==Place (TBD)==
*BWH might be easier to invite clinicians to the tutorial

=Tutorial=
==Target Audience==
* Researchers
* Engineers
* Clinicians

==Target Applications==
*Central line insertion
*Regional nerve block
*Drainage of difficult anatomical places
*prostate biopsy
*etc

==Data sources==
*Scanners, trackers
**Setup one or a few tracking system and broadcast
**Ultrasound scanner, if possible
*It's also important to demonstrate how easy to switch between simulator and trackers

==Slicer IGT library?==
Ron suggested to make something like http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/4.3/Registration/RegistrationLibrary
