Build Your Own Image Guided Surgery System

1. Obtain a suitable test phantom, in this case a prostate phantom.

2. Find a USB camera, there are a few in the lab, or we can use a tablet with a rear facing camera.

3. Get B.A.R.D. :

git clone https://github.com/SciKit-Surgery/scikit-surgerybard.git

or navigate to https://github.com/SciKit-Surgery/scikit-surgerybard and use the download button

navigate to the scikit-surgerybard directory and run :

pip install .

You may need to add :

pip install --user

if you don't have administrative permissions.

Another method to get BARD and all its dependant packages is the following :

git clone https://github.com/SciKit-Surgery/scikit-surgerybard.git

Change directory to the newly created scikit-surgerybard by :

cd scikit-surgerybard

Run the tox commands :

tox

If tox run successfully, For Mac and Linux, activate the virtual environment using command :

source .tox/py36/bin/activate

If all goes well the prompt should be preceded by (py36).

For Windows, activate the virtual environment using command :

.tox\py36\Scripts\activate

If all goes well the prompt should be preceded by (py36).

You should now have BARD setup with all dependancies in your computer. Continue with the next task.
