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.
- 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
