Module Description

The OpenIGTLink Interface Module is a program module for network communication with external software / hardware using OpenIGTLink protocol. The module provides following features:

• Data import: The module can import position, linear transform and image data from OpenIGTLink-compliant software to the MRML scene.
• Data export: The module can export linear transform and image data from the MRML scene to external software.
• Multi-connection: The module can manage multiple OpenIGTLink connections at the same time.
• Locator visualization: The user can choose one of linear transforms in the MRML scene to visualize its position and orientation in the 3D space.
• Slice driving: The module can control volume re-slicing plane based on linear transform in the MRML scene.
