Home < Slicer3: Image Guided Therapy (IGT)

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.


Use-case scenario 1: Neurosurgical navigation

  • 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

Materials

Provided by NA-MIC and the Surgical Planning Lab:

  • 3D Slicer v. 3 tutorial module
  • CT volume of the phantom
  • Tutorial slides
  • Assembly instructions for the robot and the phantom
  • Phantom placement guide

Provided by tutorial participants:

  • 1 LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit
  • 1 LEGO Deluxe Brick box
  • 2 pom-poms
  • Linux computer with root access or Windows with administrator privileges

For purchasing information for user-supplied materials, see the "Tutorial Slides Part 1 - Background and Materials" slides.
