IGSTK and I would like to ask Luis to give us his opinion here. Luis was the
chief architect of IGSTK and he put great emphasis on safety and robustness.
While plug-ins sound attractive and I would certainly welcome the opportunity to
work with your group on this, I am forwarding this to Luis and the other
developers so they can weigh in on this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

possibility to combine our in house developed CustusX and parts/modules of
IGSTK? Do you have any plans for a sort of "plug in" feature in
IGSTK? If yes, we can introduce new features and/or common features into CustusX
without changing the GUI. Changing (or introducing a new GUI) for the surgeons
are challenging.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
