Introduction

This is a training compendium for using 3DSlicer. This work is jointly sponsored by NA-MIC, NAC and NCIGT.

This series of courses will teach you how to

• load and view data
• segment data and create 3D models
• perform Diffusion Tensor Imaging and fMRI analysis

For an overview of Slicer, dowload this slideshow.

Software

The current version of Slicer that is fully supported is Slicer 2.6.

Please follow the Slicer 2.6 Getting Started instructions to install the version of the Slicer program appropriate to your platform.

Training support for Slicer3 is under active development. For currently available materials start here
