Introduction

The following graph shows how the Ultrasound scanner will be connected with 3D Slicer using the IGT Link

Transfer Image from Ultrasound

To the right the Ultrasound Server is retrieving images based on the position of the scanner. The computer's server software supports an interface to translate the scanning planes and to retrieve and send images from the scanner.

Then the data is transferred over the network using the openIGT link, the network protocol of Slicer.

Finally 3D Slicer visualizes the data and sends tracking commands back over the link to update the viewing plane.
