Agenda

  • Steve suggested:
    • going through the vvlink and openigtlink protocols
      • identifying areas places where igtl can be expanded
      • finding gaps in vvlink that will need workaround (image orientation - Xenios has heuristics for this)
    • reviewing options for the vv/igtl proxy server
      • should this be on a stand alone machine?
      • do we make this proxy code into a project of it's own or part of igtl library
      • write any test code to move the vv/igtl proxy concept along (how can we use the demo from the project week as the basis for something that can be used clinically?)
    • Xenios feedback on igtl library software and use cases (he ended up using the C code and not the C++)
    • collect practical feedback on vvlink in the OR from Yale's experience
    • get demos of Yale software and discuss interoperability options and possible funding mechanisms.
  • Lauren O'Donnell from the BWH Neurosurgery Department can join on Tuesday afternoon to discuss what clinicians would like to see out of the system.
