Introduction
3D Slicer is a cross platform desktop application for
- image visualization and
- image processing
- 3D Slicer is a free, open source package available as an executable for multiple operating systems (Windows, MAC, Linux).
- Computers running 3d Slicer need enough memory and graphics capabilities to hold both the original data and the processing results in their memory.
Recommended Hardware Configuration
- Memory: more than 4GB (8 or more are recommended).
- Display: a minimum resolution of 1024 by 768 (1280 by 1024 or better is recommended).
- Dedicated graphics hardware and memory (1GB is recommended).
- Many computations in Slicer are multi-threaded and will benefit from multi core, multi CPU configurations.
- Interface device: a three button mouse with scroll wheel is recommended. For other devices, see here for "how to".
- Internet connect to access online documentation of modules and tutorials
Recommended OS versions
- Windows 7 64bit
- Mac OS X Lion
- Linux: recent versions of popular distributions should work. Ubuntu and Fedora are the most widely used distribution among the developers.
