Home < OpenIGTLinkOpen IGT Link is a simple network protocol intended for trackers, robots and other devices to send data to the main application. Some devices might accept commands.
- Optotrack
- MRI real time image
- JHU robots
(Please contact us if you would like to include other devices.)

Byte Order
Big endian should be used for all numerical values (version, body size, crc). Unused spaces are padded with 0 (binary).
Header Fields
Data | Type | Description |
V | Unsigned short (16bit) | Version number (1) |
TYPE | char[8] | Type name of body |
DEVICE_NAME | char[20] | Unique device name |
BODY_SIZE | 64 bit unsigned int | Size of body in bytes |
CRC | 64 bit unsigned int | 64 bit CRC for body data |
Message types
IMAGE
Image data consists of ascii header information followed by binary image pixel data. (Ascii header is used to maintain compatibility with SlicerDaemon connection)

Descriptions:
Data | Type | Description |
<xsize>, <ysize>, <zsize> | text number (real) | Center position of the image in RAS coordinate |
<tx>, <ty>, <tz> | text number (real) | Transverse vector (direction for 'i' index) / The length represents pixel size in 'i' direction |
<sx>, <sy>, <sz> | text number (real) | Transverse vector (direction for 'j' index) / The length represents pixel size in 'j' direction |
<nx>, <ny>, <nz> | text number (real) | Normal vector of image plane(direction for 'k' index) / The length represents pixel size in 'z' direction or slice thickness |
