Module Description

The OpenIGTLink Interface Module is a program module that can handle network communications between 3D Slicer and external software / hardware using OpenIGTLink protocol. The module provides following functions:

  • Data import: The module can import position, linear transform and image data from OpenIGTLink-compliant software / hardware to the MRML] scene.
  • Data export: The module can export linear transform and image data from the MRML scene.
  • 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.
