OpenIGTLink provides a standardized mechanism for communications among computers and devices in operating rooms (OR) for wide variety of image-guided therapy (IGT) applications.
+
<font color=red>The OpenIGTLink official web page has moved to http://openigtlink.org/</font>
Examples of such applications include:
 
*Stereotactic surgical guidance using optical position sensor and medical image visualization software.
 
*Intraoperative image guidance using real-time MRI and medical image visualization software
 
*Robot-assisted intervention using robotic device and surgical planning software
 
  
See [[#Applications| Applications section below]] for a list of research projects using OpenIGTLink.

OpenIGTLink is a set of digital messaging formats and rules (protocol) used for data exchange on a local area network (LAN). The specification of OpenIGTLink and its reference implementation, the OpenIGTLink Library, are available free of charge for any purpose including commercial use.
 
An OpenIGTLink interface is available in popular medical image processing and visualization software [http://slicer.org/ 3D Slicer].
