The wiki pages here present the tool kit we are using or developing at Brigham and Women's Hospital for the purpose of image guided therapy (IGT). The IGT kit is a set of open source software tools with supported hardware devices. We encourage you download and use the free tools if you find them useful to you and welcome any comments or feedback from your experience


The Image Guided Therapy Toolkit

  • 3D Slicer
    • Slicer3 (www.slicer.org) is our main platform for software development and dissemination
    • Click here for the Slicer3 installation page
  • Core open source software and protocol
    • The Slicer IGT page provides guidelines for developers and clinicians and information about current projects and upcoming events
    • OpenIGTLink is a communication protocol that allows Slicer3 to communicate with imaging devices, trackers and medical robots
  • Sample Data
    • Sample data is available here

Example projects

Volume rendering with real-time imaging
Volume rendering with CUDA
VTK-MIST integration for fast volume rendering
GPU accelerated medical image processing for IGT
using OpenIGTLink
3D ultrasound module in Slicer3 using OpenIGTLink
