Check the InVesalius Navigator publication here.

InVesalius Navigator’s main features are the manipulation, visualization, and editing of medical images from nuclear magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and three dimensional scanners. The neuronavigation is performed using a spatial tracking device, making it possible to identify in real time the positioning of an object, such as a TMS coil, improving the accuracy of neurosurgical planning and brain stimulation methods.

The software has been developed since October, 2008 as part of the InVesalius project from the Renato Archer Information Technology Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Brazil. InVesalius is written in Python 3 and is compatible with several models of spatial tracking devices, such as the NDI Polaris, Polhemus Patriot, Isotrak, Fastrak, and ClaroNav MicronTracker Sx60.

The source code is hosted on GitHub. A tutorial on how to use the TMS coil navigation feature can be found in the video below:
