Introduction

The community of Slicer developers is proud to announce the release of Slicer 3.6.

Click here to download different versions of Slicer3 and find pointers to the source code, mailing lists and 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 Slicer3 are not fully tested.
The Slicer Training page provides a series of courses for learning how to use Slicer3. The portfolio contains self-guided presentation and sample data sets

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 the pages organized and up to date.

Our Philosophy

Slicer is a community platform created for the purpose of subject specific image analysis and visualization.

Multi-modality imaging including, MRI, CT, US, nuclear medicine, and microscopy
Multi organ from head to toe
Bidirectional interface for devices
Expandable and interfaced to multiple toolkits

There is no restriction on use, but permissions are responsibility of users. For details on the license see here
