The Slicer3 IGT tools will support a number of medical tracking systems, navigation of medical procedures and even technical dissemination.
 
 
 
= Features =
 
 
 
Currently envisioned features include:
 
 
 
* Support medical tracking systems
 
** Flashpoint (Image Guided Technologies, Boulder, CO)
 
** Robin Medical
 
** Use OpenTracker
 
** Extend OpenTracker for new systems
 
 
 
* Used as an intraoperative navigation system
 
** Medical procedures
 
*** Image-guided neurosurgery
 
*** Image-guided brain biospy
 
*** Image-guided prostate biopsy
 
*** Image-guided prostate brachytherapy
 
*** Image-guided brain thermal ablation
 
** Modules and servers
 
*** Locator module
 
*** ProstateBiopsy module
 
*** ProstateBrachy module
 
*** Ablation module
 
*** MRT server
 
*** DICOM listener for image transfer
 
 
 
* Technical dissemination
 
** [[IGT-Tutorials|IGT Tutorial Materials]]
 
 
 
= Implementation Options =
 
 
 
* Use CMake for building process
 
* Use KWWidgets to create module interface
 
* Existing VTK or ITK code can be applied directly
 
 
 
= Plan =
 
 
 
* Before NA-MIC AHM 2007 (Jan 10-11-12)
 
** On Windows XP, download SPLOT and related packages (e.g. ACE, xerces, OpenTracker) and compile them as libraries
 
** Modify CMake files in Slicer3 to link Slicer3 to the above libraries
 
** Translate Locator module from Slicer2.6 to Slicer3
 
** Try to make Slicer3 a demo intraoperative navigation system with Aurora tracking system for image-guided neurosurgery
 
 
 
* After NA-MIC AHM 2007
 
** Automate the building process of SPLOT
 
** Incorporate SPLOT into the Slicer3 build process
 
** Translate other IGT modules from Slicer2.6 to Slicer3
 
** Merge SIGN to Slicer3
 
 
 
= In Progress Projects =
 
*[[Tracker Daemon|Tracker Daemon]]
 
*[[OpenIGTLink| Open IGT Link]]
 
 
 
= Issues =
 
 
 
Automating the building process for external libraries is a challenge.
