Thanks for the suggestions

As for the title, I am not sure we can change it because I had to submit an
abstract last August that has already been accepted for the conference

But I will check with the SPIE technical editor of the volume

Kevin

P.S. by the way you are the first to respond so thanks - I am sure it needs
lot of proofreading and another iteration as this was the first draft - but
we do only have a few days to wrap this up

Hello Patrick,

Good job! The paper is well-organized and contains lots of useful 
information for application development using IGSTK.  However, it needs 
several iterations of proof reading. I made minor changes throughout the 
paper. Find attached my revision.

One major thing was the title. I found the title to be a bit confusing.  
I am not sure if we can still modify the title of the paper. If we can, 
I strongly encourage you to change it

Current title:

IGSTK: Framework and Example Applications Using an Open Source Toolkit 
for Image-Guided Surgery Applications

My suggestions are

-IGSTK: Open Source Toolkit for Image-Guided Surgery Applications
-Example Applications Using Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK)

Then, after reading through the whole paper, I realized that we are ONLY 
presenting one example application i.e Needle biopsy Hence, the 
following title might be even more appropriate

Development of an image guided needle biopsy application using 
Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK)

Just a suggestion...

Take a look at my other comments and let me know if you have questions
