| − | 3D Slicer is a free [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] extensible software application for medical image computing and visualization. Mainly written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B C++] and based on the [http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/NA-MIC-Kit NA-MIC kit], 3D Slicer relies on a variety of libraries: [http://www.vtk.org VTK], [http://itk.org ITK], [http://commontk.org CTK], [http://www.cmake.org CMake], [http://qt.nokia.com/products/ Qt] and [http://www.python.org/ Python].

| − | | |
| − | To ensure the stability of the application, relying on a robust [http://www.kitware.com/solutions/softwareprocess/softwareprocess.html software process], the source code is compiled and tested on a daily basis on a [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/SlicerApplication/HardwareConfiguration|variety of platform configurations]]. The testing results are summarized and reported using a web-based centralized CDash [http://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=Slicer4 dashboard]. Developers of 3D Slicer can also report issues on the [http://massmail.bwh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/slicer-devel open mailing list] or using the [http://na-mic.org/Mantis/my_view_page.php web-based bug tracking system].

| − | 3D Slicer consists of both a lean application core and modules offering specific functionality. The core implements the user interface, provides support for data input/output (IO) and visualization and also exposes developer interfaces that support extension of the application with new modules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Multiple types of modules are supported: [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Modules#Command_Line_Interface_.28CLI.29|CLI]], [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Modules#Loadable_Modules|Loadable module]], [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/Modules#Scripted_Modules|Scripted module]] and [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Developers/EditorExtension|Editor effect]]. While the developer has to choose between one of these types to implement its module, the end user won't notice the difference as they all share the same look & feel. The choice for a given type of module is usually based on the type of inputs/parameters for a given module.

| − | These modules can be either built-in or installed on demand via the [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/SlicerApplication/ExtensionsManager|extensions manager]].
