Back to IGT:ToolKit

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 these components to build and use a general purpose navigation system.

Step 1: Install Slicer3

Follow the instructions here to install Slicer3:
http://wiki.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/IGT:ToolKit/Install-Slicer3


Step 2: Install OpenIGTLink module

OpenIGTLink protocol handles data communication between Slicer3 and tracking device (Click here for details). As a loadable module in Slicer3, OpenIGTLink will receive tracking data from the NDI Aurora system.

  • If you can find a proper binary here for your computer, download it and unzip the file:
    • For Linux box (x86, 32-bit), click here.
    • For Linux box (x86, 64-bit), click here.
    • For Windows box (32-bit), click here.
    • For Mac OS X(Leopard x86), click here.
  • If you'd like to build OpenIGTLink module from the source code, find the instructions here.
  • Copy the binary into your-slicer3-build(install)-directory/lib/Slicer3/Modules.
  • You should see OpenIGTLink in the Slicer3 module list after Slicer is started.

Step 3: Simulator

    • For Linux box (x86, 32-bit), click here.
    • For Linux box (x86, 64-bit), click here.
    • For Windows box (32-bit), click here.
    • For Mac OS X(Leopard x86), click here.
