Welcome to the 3D Slicer Wiki pages!
Welcome to the Slicer Wiki Home Page.
How to use this site:
- The main 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 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 You will find good information on the wiki, but it's possible that it's out of date or describes features that are still in the planning phase.
Non-rigid registration module in 3D Slicer can be used to fuse pre-procedural MR images and intra-procedural CT images during cryoablation of renal tumors. The non-rigid registrations are more accurate than rigid registrations.

- January
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. .
- 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

- 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.
