The goal of OpenIGTLink is to provide a standardized mechanism to connect software/hardware through the network for image-guided therapy (IGT) applications. The features of OpenIGTLink include:

  • Open. OpenIGTLink specifications are open and can be used for any applications, including commercial products, free of charge.
  • Simple. Developers can easily adapt their own software/hardware to OpenIGTLink specifications.
  • Platform independent. OpenIGTLink supports a wide range of devices from embedded system to high performance computers.
  • Ready-to-use. OpenIGTLink is supported in NA-MIC's medical image processing and visualization platform 3D Slicer.
