How to prepare

• Bring your laptop. So you can follow the hands-on guide and implement your own surgical navigation software. Special devices like tracker will be provided by the presenters. Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems are supported.
• Download 3D Slicer 4.8 version from this page
• Install the following 3D Slicer extensions: SlicerIGT, Sequences, SlicerDMRI. (Note that UKFTractorgraphy will also be installed as a dependency of SlicerDMRI.) Extensions are available in the Extension Manager from the View menu of 3D Slicer.
• Download the tutorial data package (to be posted here)
