Outline

• Test connectivity between Brainlab and BioImage Suite

• Test connectivity between Slicer3 and BioImage Suite

• Test the entire system


Assertion

• Only the setup of the system in last section has been successful can we start to perform the following testing process.


Test Connectivity between Brainlab and BioImage Suite

If the connection is good, you will see a list images which are available on Brainlab system. Highlight one and then clicking Transfer Image button will get that image from Brainlab to BioImage. The image will display in the VVLink Viewer window (next slide).



The image display window.



If the Enable button is clicked and when somebody moves the tracking device with the Brainlab system, BioImage will receive real-time tracking data and the image will be reformatted accordingly (next slide).



Image reformats as receiving tracking data from Brainlab

Coordinates update as receiving tracking data from Brainlab


Test Connectivity between Slicer3 and BioImage Suite

Make sure all three buttons are checked



Clicking this button will send the current image in the VVLink Viewer to Slicer3 (next slide)





Clicking this button will send the current coordinates in the VVLink Viewer to Slicer3 (next slide)



Go to the Transform module to see the coordinates.

Make sure the node name is BioImageSuite


Test the Entire System

• To test the entire system, make sure:– Enable button is clicked on Slide 8– All three buttons are checked on Slide 10

• Then we will see Slicer3 receives real-time tracking data as the tracking device with Brainlab is moved (next slide)


Test the Entire System

Values will update on a real-time base
