Introduction to Slicer
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM EST

Course Description:
This course provides an introduction to the open-source 3DSlicer application, designed for first time users who are interested in a broad overview of Slicer’s features and tools. The course introduces and demonstrates core functionalities such as loading, visualizing and saving data. Basic processing tools, including manual registration, manual segmentation and tractography tools are also highlighted. This course is not an exhaustive or in depth review of all the capabilities of Slicer nor a tutorial for developers; for something tailored to specific needs, please contact us.

The course will be taught by Julien Finet, an R&D Engineer at Kitware. Dr. Steve Pieper, founder of Isomics, and Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin, an R&D Engineer at Kitware, will be in attendance to answer questions during the course.

Overview of 3D Slicer 4.0:
3D Slicer is a free, open-source software package for image analysis and visualization. It provides a flexible, modular platform for image segmentation and registration, DTI (diffusion tractography) processing, interfacing to external devices for image guidance support, and GPU-enabled volume rendering, among other capabilities. Made up of more than one million lines of code, Slicer is based on the community-driven libraries such as VTK, ITK, Qt, and Python. This massive software development effort has been enabled by the participation of several large scale NIH funded efforts, including the NA-MIC, NAC, BIRN, CIMIT and NCIGT communities.
