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:
+
<font color=red>The OpenIGTLink official web page has moved to http://openigtlink.org/</font>
*'''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 [http://slicer.org/ 3D Slicer].

=Protocol=
 
<hr/>
 
The OpenIGTLink protocol was originally developed in 2008. In 2010, the protocol was extended with several new data type support, while maintaining backward compatibility. The new extended protocol has been released as OpenIGTLink Version 2 protocol.
