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 [http://www.slicer.org/ 3D Slicer ver. 3.4 and higher].
 
 
 
This is a generalization of the previous [[Tracker Daemon]].
