Check Connection

New page

This tutorial will teach you how to setup Slicer3 and an image provider to send and display 4D image data. The theory is described on [[Slicer3:4DUltrasound 4D US]]

= Prepare Slicer3 =

== Downloading and Compiling the source ==
*'''Download and compile''' a copy of Slicer3 as described in [[Slicer3:Build_Instructions]].
** !! use http://www.na-mic.org/svn/Slicer3/branches/igt_cuda_merge as the source !!

== Setting up the 3D Slicer ==
#Start up Slicer3
#Select the '''OpenIGTLink Module''' from the Modules Tab. [[Image:Slicer3_Select_OpenIGTLinkModule.png|thumb|none|Select the OpenIGTLink Module]]
#Start the server, by clicking on the '''Connector Browser''' Tab. [[Image:Slicer3_Enable_OpenIGT_Server.png|thumb|none|Enable OpenIGT Server]]
##Add a Server
##Select a Name (optional)
##Set the type to server
##Enable the server by setting the status to 'Enabled'.

== Get IP-Address of the Slicer Computer ==
Store the IP-Address of the computer. This is done by 'ipconfig' on Windows and 'ifconfig' on UNIX.

= Prepare the Image Provider =
== Downloading and Compilation ==
*Check out the Server code from http://www.na-mic.org/svn/NAMICSandBox/trunk/BRPTools/ScannerIO
svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/NAMICSandBox/trunk/BRPTools/ScannerIO
*Compile the Code
cmake .
make
*Download the data package with ct-scans of a human heart [[Media:heart256.zip]] and unzip it into the source directory
== Start the Scanner-Simulator ==
*start the scanner with the Arguments:
Usage: ./bin/ScannerSim <x> <y> <z> <type> <rx> <ry> <rz> <fname_temp> <bindex> <eindex> <fps> <hostname>
<x>, <y>, <z> : Number of pixels in x, y and z direction.
<type> : Type (2:int8 3:uint8 4:int16 5:uint16 6:int32 7:uint32
<rx>, <ry>, <rz>: resolution (pixel size) in x, y and z direction
<fname_temp> : File name template (e.g. "RawImage_%04d.raw").
<bindex> : Begin index.
<eindex> : End index.
<fps> : Frame rate (frames per second).
<hostname> : hostname (port# is fixed to 18944)
*For the heart dataset the following will do:
./bin/ScannerSim 256 256 256 3 1 1 1 heart256-%d.raw 1 5 10 [Slicer-IP-Address]

= Check Connection =
#The Provider should now transfer images to Slicer3 (should be running)
#In Slicer3 go to the '''Data''' Module
#In the '''Display & Modify Scene''' section should now be a new node called ''Scanner(vtkMRMLScalarVolumeNode1)''. [[Image:Slicer3_OpenIGT_Data_Shows_Scanner_Node.png|thumb|none|Scanner Visible]]
#Select the module '''VolumeRendering'''.
#You can now choose ''Scanner'' as '''Source Volume''' [[Image:Slicer3_OpenIGT_VolumeRendering_SelectScanner.png|thumb|none|Select Scanner in Volume Rendering Module]]
