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.
News:
- September 2008
- 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.
- A NA-MIC Workshop at MICCAI addressed the creation of ITK-based command line modules for 3D Slicer.
- Slicer user Attila Nagy presented on Slicer3 for inner ear imaging (Slides - Hungarian)
- Attila also provided patches to build Slicer3 and most of Slicer2 using the latest versions of solaris and the optimized Sun C++ compilers.
