Dear IGSTK user,

The Image-Guided Surgery Toolkit (IGSTK: pronounced IGStick) is a 
high-level component-based framework providing common functionality 
for image-guided surgery applications.

This software framework consists of a set of high-level components 
integrated with other low-level open source software libraries and 
application programming interfaces (API) from hardware vendors.

The cornerstone of IGSTK is robustness. IGSTK provides the following 
high-level functionality:
1. Ability to read and display medical images including CT and MRI in 
DICOM format.
2. An interface to common tracking hardware (e.g. AURORA from Northern 
Digital Inc.).
3. A graphical user interface and visualization capability including a 
four-quadrant view (axial, sagittal, coronal, and 3D) as well as a 
multi-slice axial view (from 1 by 1 to many by many such as 10 by 10).
4. Registration: point based registration and a means for selecting 
these points.
5. Robust common internal software services for logging, 
exception-handling and problem resolution.
