The general navigation system consists of the following components:
- Slicer3: the base platform for navigation
- IGT loadable modules: Software modules, pluginned into Slicer3, for supporting IGT specific functionality
- IGSTK: An interfacing tool for common commercial tracking devices
- Tracking device: e.g. NDI Aurora tracking system
This tutorial explains how to set up a general navigation system with a tracker simulator.
Contents
Step 1: Install Slicer3
Go to the Slicer3 Install site.
Step 2: Install OpenIGTLink module
OpenIGTLink is currently distributed as a loadable module for 3D Slicer.
- Step 2a: You have the choice of either downloading a precompiled version OR building it yourself from the source code:
- Precompiled OpenIGTLink module (for use with Slicer 3.2):
- Building the OpenIGTLink from source code: Find the instructions here
- Step 2b: Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules. You should see the OpenIGTLink module in the Slicer3 module list once Slicer3 is started.
Step 3: Install tracker simulator
- This tracker simulator will generate and send fake tracking data to Slicer3. Download one of the following binaries:
- Unzip the binary to some place on your computer.
- Run Slicer3. In the top directory of your Slicer3 installation, run this command to start up Slicer3:
./Slicer3
- Set up OpenIGTLink module
- Choose OpenIGTLink from Slicer Module list:
- Set up OpenIGTLink module to receive tracking data:
- Choose OpenIGTLink from Slicer Module list:
- Run tracker simulator to send tracking data to Slicer3:
cd to the install directory of TrackerSimulator ./TrackerSim 10 c local 18944
