Welcome to the 3D Slicer Wiki pages!
Welcome to the Slicer Wiki Home Page.
How to use this site:
- The Slicer Web pages provide a guided tour to the application, training materials, and the development community. New users should start there because we try to keep it organized and up to date.
- These wiki pages are more free-form, with notes and reference pages that help support developers and users across multiple sites. You will find good information on the wiki, but it's possible that it's out of date or describes features that are still in the planning phase.
Simplified Interface for Volume Rendering

3D Slicer is:
- A software platform for the analysis and visualization of medical images and for research in image guided therapy.
- An algorithm and application development platform with a powerful plug-in architecture.
- A free, open source package available on multiple operating systems (Windows, MAC, Linux).

Over 200 attendees at training events in two 90 minute training sessions.
- Slicer developers were active at the CommonTK hackfest in France.
August
- Slicer3 development trunk (and nightly builds) have changed over to Tcl 8.5 and cmake 2.8.5 in order to address some issues with ubuntu 11.04.
- Plans are in place to release slicer4 at RSNA 2011 (end of November). Developers are actively working on making that a usable and feature rich release.
March
- 4th: New Slicer3.6.3 Patch Release
Slicer3.6.3 Patch Released on March 4th, 2011.

- A very productive CTK Hackfest made significant progress on new dicom interoperability features that will be a key part of slicer4.
January
2010
October
- Our friends and colleagues at UFP in Barcelona, Spain have released version 1.2 of the Gimias application. This new version includes an interface so that Gimias can discover and execute slicer command line modules to operate on data loaded in Gimias.
September
- The first alpha versions of Slicer4 (the Qt version) are starting to become available. Contact the slicer-devel list if you want access to a binary installer for testing.
- A video has been nominated for official slicer bug fixing anthem ;)
August
- The Slicer 3.6.1 patch release includes several bug fixes and other improvements. A 3.6.2 is in the works for sometime in the next few weeks to capture more bug fixes. See the list of fixed and outstanding issues for Slicer 3.6.x.
July
June
Slicer 3.6 Released in June 2010.
May
- first (05/17) and second (05/25) release candidates for Slicer 3.6
April
- Slicer factoids on Ohloh
- Feature Freeze month! Developers are working on bug fixes, documentation, and performance enhancement.
- Check out Andras Jakab's impressive surgery planning images
March
- New infrastructure software is rapidly evolving in the context of the Common Toolkit working meetings.
- Planning underway for release 3.6 of 3D Slicer
- A slicer review on medfloss
- slicer's debian package page
- slicer ubuntu package that can be installed with the alpha version of Ubuntu 10.04
- A page with information about installing slicer3 on Debian has been started.
- We are starting to make plans for 3D Slicer version 4 (also known as Slicer4). A big step!
January
- January 4-8: 10th Project Week
2009
December
- Lots of activity around the Port of Slicer to Qt
- New Annotation Tools are in the works
November
- Seb Barre from Kitware has taken the lead in adding multiple cameras support to Slicer 3. The work is currently focused on multiple cameras and multiple views, but only one scene. The nightly build contains a new module, called cameras. Jim Miller has added a new layout, called Dual 3D Layout.
Dual 3D layout.
October
- Test of mobile friendly wiki skin
September
- Serious work is beginning on a Slicer3 port to Qt.
- Attila Nagy and his colleagues created a very nice set of presentations and animations with slicer to illustrate 3D reconstruction as applied to otorhinolaryngology. (See Notes).
August
- New images in the visual blog show integration of slicer and BioImageSuite.
July
- Several bug fixes are being rolled into a 3.4.1 patch release, expected for beginning of August.
June
- NA-MIC Summer Project Week was a great success!
- New documentation is available, thanks to the Summer 2009 Tutorial Contest
May
- Slicer 3.4 release
- The 3.4 release branch has been created in subversion
- A punch list of 3.4 bugs is being maintained on the Mantis Bug Tracker.
March
- Development of slicer3.4 is still under way. To check the status, go to the bug tracker and search for the tag "3.4 Targeted fix". Our plan is to fix anything with that tag before branching the release. http://na-mic.org/Mantis/main_page.php The svn trunk for slicer3 is still in "feature freeze" mode, meaning that only fixes should be checked in. Any new development should occur in svn branches for now.
- Developers, please be sure to apply the "3.4 Targeted fix" to anything you are working on for the release.
January
- A product release of Slicer 3.4 is scheduled for Feb/March
- There will be a code freeze on Feb 4, 2009
- Slicer3 and related research project were highlighted and demoed as part of the External Advisory Board meeting of the Neuroimage Analysis Center.
2008
December
- Andrew Farke posted some excellent tutorials on the use of 3D Slicer in paleontology research.

September
- Andras Jakab won second place in Kitware's medical image visualization contest!. The image combines slice viewing, models, volume rendering, and tractography applied to a gamma knife neurooncology radiotherapy planning case. Andras used slicer's registration tools to fuse CT and diffusion MR into a multimodal scene.
