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 You will find good information on the wiki, but it's possible that it's out of date or describes features that are still in the planning phase.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.

  • Three-dimensional appearance of the lip muscles with three-dimensional isotropic MRI: An in vivo study. R. Olszewski, Y. Liu, T. Duprez, T.M. Xu, H. Reychler: Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg. 2009 Jun;4(4):349-52. See here for the pdf

  • A Voronoi diagram used for centerline computation of a vascular tree.

  • White matter lesion segmentation is now available as an extension to Slicer


More images at the Slicer3 Visual Blog...

In a nutshell, Slicer3 is:

  • A cross-platform end user application for analyzing and visualizing medical images.
  • A collection of Open Source libraries for developing and deploying new image computing technologies.
  • Intended to replace the venerable Slicer2 (see information on the transition)
  • An algorithm development platform with a powerful new Execution Model to facilitate creation of new modules.
