| |
| − | | |
| − | The [http://www.slicer.org/pages/Acknowledgments community] of Slicer developers is proud to announce the release of '''Slicer {{documentation/version}}'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Slicer {{documentation/version}} introduces
| |
| − | ** an improved App store, known as the extension manager, for adding capabilities to Slicer. Close to 70 plug-ins are currently available.
| |
| − | ** close to 400 feature improvements and bug fixes lead to improved performance and stability.
| |
| − | ** augmentation of many modules.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Click here to [http://download.slicer.org/ download] Slicer {{documentation/version}} for different platforms and find pointers to the source code, mailing lists and bug tracker.
| |
| − | * Please note that Slicer continues to be a research package and is not intended for clinical use. Testing of functionality is an ongoing activity with high priority, however, some features of Slicer are not fully tested.
| |
| − | * The [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/Training|Slicer Training]] page provides a series of courses for learning how to use Slicer. The portfolio contains self-guided presentation and sample data sets.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The main [http://www.slicer.org slicer.org] pages provide a guided tour to the application, training materials, and the development community. New users should start there because we try to keep the pages organized and up to date.

| − | = What is 3D Slicer =
| |
| − | Slicer is a community platform created for the purpose of subject specific image analysis and visualization.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Multi-modality imaging including, MRI, CT, US, nuclear medicine, and microscopy
| |
| − | * Multi organ from head to toe
| |
| − | * Bidirectional interface for devices
| |
| − | * Expandable and interfaced to multiple toolkits
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is no restriction on use, but permissions and compliance with rules are responsibility of users. For details on the license see [http://www.slicer.org/cgi-bin/License/SlicerLicenseForm.pl here]

| |
| − | * faster image stack (png, jpg, bmp, tiff...) loading
| |
| − | * mrb files
| |
| − | <!--
| |
| − | * add support for user-defined stereo-viewing options
| |
| − | -->
