3D Slicer Enabled Research

3D Slicer is a free open source software package distributed under a BSD style license for analysis, integration, and visualization of medical images. 3D Slicer allows even those with limited image processing experience to effectively explore and quantify their imaging data for hypothesis-driven research.


The community that relies on 3D Slicer is large and active: (numbers below updated on December 1st, 2023)

  • 2,147+ papers on PubMed citing the Slicer platform paper
    • Fedorov A., Beichel R., Kalpathy-Cramer J., Finet J., Fillion-Robin J-C., Pujol S., Bauer C., Jennings D., Fennessy F.M., Sonka M., Buatti J., Aylward S.R., Miller J.V., Pieper S., Kikinis R. 3D Slicer as an Image Computing Platform for the Quantitative Imaging Network. Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2012 Nov;30(9):1323-41. PMID: 22770690. PMCID: PMC3466397.
