Agenda
In this breakout session, we will discuss applications of 3D Slicer in networked environments. Specifically we will discuss network communications between 3D Slicer and external software/devices using OpenIGTLink and HTTP web service API.
Introduction: Network Interfaces in 3D Slicer 4.1
- Current status of OpenIGTLink IF (by Junichi Tokuda)
- HTTP Web service API in 3D Slicer (by Steve Pieper)
- HTTP Web service API allows users to getting/setting data and invoke module functionality remotely from web browser. See the project page for more information and demo video.
- 3D Slicer + PLUS integration (by Tamas Ungi, Andras Lasso)
Future Directions
Applications
- CT/Ultrasound integration for needle guidance
- How to control the device / data stream.
- How to manage request?
- In Web, long pole approach is used...
- Track catheter in the lung and show in 3D view of 3D Slicer
- Tracker for NDI,
- 4D Ultrasound
- Kinect
- Brain LAB neurosurgery
- Ultrasound in brainlab
- VPN and other remote environment
- Import tracking data
- OpenIGTLink for 3D tracking tools
- Import static images
- DICOM
- Import real-time images from imaging scanners
- Import target information from external software
- Import/exporting processed image to external software
- Import/exporting commands
- Display images in remote computer
- Control Slicer from remote computer
- Share images to discuss
- Device monitoring
- Event Recording
Wish lists
- OpenIGTLink
- 3D Slicer Interface
- Offset function in RealTime Imaging module
- Performance... move from timer driven mechanism to event driven mechanism
- HTTP Web service API in 3D Slicer
- Compression: PNG or JPEG?
- PNG compression: loss-less, spends large amount of CPU time
- JPEG: small data size, concern about image quality
- Good for many different interfaces, e.g. iPad, etc.
- Use multi-touch interface for registration. For example use one finger as a pivot point and use another finger to rotate images
- Interface for commandline modules
- Compression: PNG or JPEG?
- 3D Slicer Interface
