SlicerIMSTK
Extension for 3D slicer that enables user to prototype real-time multi-modal surgical simulation scenarios by leveraging iMSTK.
This project is in active development and may change from version to version without notice,
Use cases
To enable the use of iMSTK in Slicer based application, the SlicerIMSTK extension supports two use cases:
| Use case | Description |
|---|---|
| Bundled | Bundling in Slicer custom application. This provides all dependencies, configures & builds iMSTK and defines packaging rules to support integration in custom application created using KitwareMedical/SlicerCustomAppTemplate. |
| Standalone | Building as a standalone extension. This provides iMSTK functionalities to the Slicer community through the extension manager. |
Frequently asked questions
How to bundle the SlicerIMSTK extension in a Slicer custom application ?
A snippet like the following should be added in the custom application CMakeLists.txt.
