NeuralNav system setup in the AMIGO suite

System components

  • PLUS computer (Thinkpad W520 laptop running Win 7 64-bit)
    • Functions
      • Temporal calibration: synch ultrasound and tracking data streams
      • Spatial calibrations: Image-to-Probe, Reference-to-RAS
      • Saves synchronized ultrasound and tracking data to file (mha)
    • Framegrabber, connected through USB - Epiphan VGA2USB LR
    • PLUS is compiled in 32-bit to be able to use Epiphan driver
  • BK ultrasound machine
    • Functions
      • Provides images to the PLUS computer
    • Image provided through VGA output
    • Probes: BK 8862, BK 8863
  • Brainlab (tracker)
    • Functions
      • Provides tracking data to the PLUS computer
    • Tracking the following tools: Probe, Reference, Stylus
    • Provides tracking data through OpenIGTLink

Questions

  • Why are we using the Brainlab system for tracking? Why not use just a tracker (e.g. Polaris)?
