Overview

Integration of transperineal prostate robot (BRP -- Brigham and Women's Hospital/Johns Hopkins University/Queen's University/Acoustic Med Systems

The OpenIGTLink protocol is a simple but extensible data format to transfer various types of data among software and devices used in image-guided therapy (IGT) scene e.g. surgical navigation software, tracking device, robotic device, imaging scanner. The protocol can handle image, tracking data, transform, device control and monitoring command, and other user-defined data types. It is designed to work in the application layer of the TCP/IP stack, but not limited to it; developers can use this protocol with UDP/IP or other network protocol models. 3D Slicer' supports OpenIGTLink and has interface module as OpenIGTLinkIF, which is currently available in 3D Slicer ver. 3.4 and higher.

This is a generalization of the previous Tracker Daemon.

Protocol

The OpenIGTLink protocol is backward compatible, in the sense that all messages generated by software with OpenIGTLink version 1 interfaces can be imported by those with version 2 interfaces.
