| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[Documentation/{{documentation/version}}/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 plug-ins to Slicer. More than 80 plug-ins and packages of plug-ins are currently available.
| |
| − | ** Close to 150 feature improvements and bug fixes have resulted in improved performance and stability.
| |
| − | ** Improvements to 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 the 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 tutorials and data sets for training in the use of Slicer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [http://www.slicer.org slicer.org] is the portal to the application, training materials, and the development community.

| − | Image:MpReview-Prostate.gif|New [[Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/mpReview|mpReview]] extension to support review and annotation of multiparametric image data. The driving use case for the development of this module was review and segmentation of the regions of interest in prostate cancer multiparametric MRI.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Image:Needle_tracking.png| New [[Documentation/Nightly/Extensions/SliceTracker|SliceTracker]] extension to support navigation and guidance during in-bore MRI-guided prostate biopsy. Main documentation for this module is hosted on Gitbook - give us your feedback about this approach for documenting Slicer functionality! https://fedorov.gitbooks.io/slicetracker/content/
