Project Description

MRI guided devices have been designed for biopsies or other interventions. The aim is to adapt Slicer for MR-guided needle placement procedures using MRI compatible robots.

Objective

We are planning to collect information about best practices to use different toolboxes or modules at Slicer.

  1. Understand how SliceTracker, SlicerIGT, OpenIGTLink, SlicerDevelopementToolbox works
  2. Make Implementation decisions based on these

Approach and Plan

  1. Meet with developers with relevant experience
  2. Collect list of potential issues and solutions, best practices, and pointers to reusable code.
