Title: An accessible, hands-on tutorial system for image-guided therapy using a robot and open-source software
Author(s): Pace, Danielle F.; Kikinis, Ron; Hata, Nobuhiko
Abstract: 
This paper describes an accessible, hands-on tutorial on image-guided therapy (IGT) using the LEGO Mindstorms NXT, a commercially available robotics kit, and 3D Slicer, an open-source application for medical image processing.  Tutorial participants will learn about the typical IGT workflow by using the LEGO robot and 3D Slicer to perform a simulated needle biopsy on a phantom made of traditional LEGO pieces.  In addition, this paper describes NXT-USB, a new C++ library that allows direct control of a LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot from a Linux computer via a USB connection.
