Slicer4:VisualBlog

This is the Slicer 4 visual blog. Please click here if you are looking for the old Slicer 3 visual blog.

• 

  Demo at CARS 2014 in Fukuoka, Japan. Slicer is connected to a KUKA robot for visualization of 3D models of the robot, the anatomy, and the workspace. The system is originally developed at NA-MIC Summer Project Week.

• 

  Multiplanar and volume rendered view of a CT scan of a Granny Smith apple. In plane resolution is 0.33 mm, and 1.25 mm slice thickness.

• 

  Render created in Blender of data segmented and exported from Slicer. Taimur Alavi created this from a CT scan of a friend who had broken his neck.

• 

  3D Print of the same broken neck model, given to the friend as a kind of "good luck charm". The friend recovered.

• 

  The TCIABrowser extension TCIABrowser gives you access to 18 collections of The Cancer Imaging Archive (http://cancerimagingarchive.net/), which contains a total of over 23,000 image series from a variety of manufacturers and of different modalities and organs.

• 

  The Multidimensional data extension allows creating, editing, and visualizing multidimensional data sets in 3D Slicer. Browsing, replaying 4D volumes, reviewing deforming 3D models, replaying tracked ultrasound, tool navigation data in 3D, applying time-varying transforms are now all possible.

• 

  UKFTractography is a module for computing tractography of DWI images using an unscented Kalman filter. Because of its 2-tensor algorithm, it is able to model fiber crossings and capture many more fibers than a single tensor algorithm.

• 

  Some applications of the SlicerIGT extension for image-guided and navigated medical interventions. For more information see the Slicer IGT website.

• 

  ShapePopulationViewer is an external tool that allows the user to dynamically interact with multiple surfaces at the same time : an interesting tool for shape visualisation and comparison. It now is available as a Slicer Extension.

• 

  The Subject hierarchy module and mechanism organizes and handles loaded data in the RT extension package, providing processing and analysis features through plugins. It aspires to be a convenient central organizing point for many of the operations that 3D Slicer and its extensions perform.

• 

  The Data Store allows a user to easily upload and download MRB files.

• 

  The Contours module manages contours in the RT extension package.

• 

  MultiVolumeExplorer module has been updated to include the capability to plot multivolume pixel values from 2 multivolumes at the same time. This feature is particularly helpful while visualizing the results of model fits, such as those produced by the updated PkModeling extension.

• 

  A new extension allows to run matlab scripts without having to recompile Slicer. For more information see here

• 

  Extension Manager, the slicer multiplatform Appstore is open for business and free.

• 

  Semi-automatic lobe segmentation for regional lung disease analysis as part of the Chest Imaging Platform funded by NHLBI 1R01HL116931

• 

  The Cardiac MR Extension provides tools for segmentation and analysis of heart tissue and structure for treatment and diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation.

• 

  CarreraSlice is an interactive segmentation tool. It combines a fast implementation of the GrowCut algorithm for the 'initialization' phase with KSlice, an interactive algorithm based on Level Sets, for the 'refinement' stage.

• 

  A box plot

• 

  Fetal brain development. The visualization is using volume rendering and the Multivolume modules in Slicer 4. Click here for the full movie (~24mb). Data downloaded from Imperial College.

• 

  Leveraging multi viewer layout to arrange 6 slices in the 3D viewer

• 

  Visualization of complex query "motor system + mass + straight gyrus" using the faceted query module

• 

  Fibers colored by their mean orientation is now available in the Tractography Display module

• 

  SlicerRT 0.2 has been released! SlicerRT is 3D Slicer with extensions for radiotherapy research, which is developed by SparKit project with the contributions from Slicer community.

• 

  The new extension manager

• 

  Up to date download statistics

• 

  A combination of ROI cropping of streamlines, fiducial based seeding and labelmap seeding allows to assess the deformation of streamlines which are due to tumor based deformations.
