Module Description
This module allows you to change the model of a tracked tool for image-guided therapy. Used with the OpenIGTLink IF Module, a vtkPolyData model can be assigned to a transformation from the tracking system. This module has PolyData models for a needle and a probe. The user can also choose to toggle on/off (i) the target (tip) location and (ii) the tool projection. It is assumed that the projection of the tool is in the negative z-direction.
Usage
Examples, Use Cases & Tutorials
- This is intended for IGT applications where virtual representation of the surgical tool is needed for interaction with an image. Currently, this module is limited to a single tool but plans are in place to expand it to multiple tools.
Quick Tour of Features and Use
- Tool Properties Panel:
- Probe Transform: Select the MRML node that contains the probe transform being served up from the tracking system via the OpenIGTLink IF Module.
- Tool Type List: Select the tool type being tracked. Currently only three types are available: the OpenIGTLink Default, Needle and a Pointer Probe. It is easy to added other models by adding functions to the Logic code.
- Enable Tool PolyDdata Checkbox: Toggle the tool on and off.
- Show Axes Checkbox: Toggle the tool axes on and off.
- Show Tool Projection: Toggle the projection line on and off.
- Set Projection Length Slider: Control the length of the projection line. 250mm is the maximum (Is this reasonable?).
- Set Projection Diamater Slider: Control the size of the radius of the projection line. 10mm is the maximum.
- Show Tool Tip Location Checkbox: Toggle the tool tip sphere on and off.
- Set Target Diameter Slider: Control the size of the sphere at the tool tip location. 10mm is the maximum.
