Introduction

Welcome to the Open IGT Link Library. The Open IGT Link protocol is a simple but extensible network communication protocol to transfer various types of data among software and devices used in image-guided therapy (IGT) scene e.g. surgical navigation software, tracking device, robotic device, imaging scanner. The protocol can handle image, tracking data, transform, device control and monitoring command, and other user-defined data types. It is designed to work in the application layer of the TCP/IP stack, but not limited to it; developers can use this protocol with UDP/IP or other network protocol models.

The overall goal to provide this open network protocol is to make system integration for IGT application easier. To achieve this objective, we have the following rules to design the protocol:
