This tutorial uses an NDI Aurora tracking system to explain how navigation works in Slicer3. The general IGT navigation system consists of Slicer3 (the base platform), the OpenIGTLink module (a loadable software module plugged into Slicer3), IGSTK (an interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices) and a tracking device (such as the NDI Aurora magnetic tracking system). In addition, this tutorial contains a relatively advanced description of the OpenIGTLink protocol.
