Home < Slicer3: Image Guided Therapy (IGT)

Introduction

The Slicer3 IGT tools are intended to enable research in image guided therapy. They leverage the Slicer environment and augment it with a number of IGT specific functionalities and modules. One key element of this capability is Open IGT link, a communication protocol to link 3D Slicer to a variety of devices.

Use-case scenario 1: Neurosurgical navigation

  • I am a neurosurgeon who is using the BrainLabs Navigation system. I would like to use Slicer to do some research in DTI visualization during procedures. What do I do?

The following scenario is being developed and tested: The integration of BrainLab and Slicer3

Use-case scenario 2: IGT robotics tutorial with LEGO Mindstorms

  • I am a professor who wants to use Slicer to educate my students about the basics of robotics in IGT

Steps

List of devices that have been linked successfully

  • Support medical tracking systems
  • All devices interfaced to IGSTK (Noby inserts link), including
    • Flashpoint (Image Guided Technologies, Boulder, CO)
    • Robin Medical
    • scanners (Noby: which ones)
    • robots (Noby which ones)
  • IGT Modules in Slicer 3.3

Only what is in Slicer 3.3 nightly!
