Hi all,  
I’m writing to ask if exists a list of supported surgical navigation systems.  
I have a commercial navigation platform and I would like to interface it with Slicer…is it possible?

Thanks a lot.  
Paolo

3D Slicer can receive real-time tracking information, patient registration transform, etc. from **Medtronic** and **BrainLab** navigation systems.

**Stryker** does not have a research interface at all (we reached out to them several times about it), therefore we could not implement connection to Slicer.
