* Review ongoing research work related to 3D Slicer software
* Provide guided hands-on exposure to 3D Slicer functionality by working through example analysis tutorials

==Preparation==
* Attendees may wish to review the web sites related to 3D Slicer research:
** [http://slicer.org slicer.org] the main project web site
** [http://na-mic.org na-mic.org] a community of researchers using 3D Slicer and related software
** [http://ncigt.org ncigt.org] a large project related to imaging and interventional/surgical therapy
** [http://slicerrt.org slicerrt.org] a project focused on radiation therapy
* To get an idea of the types of research, have a look at [http://www.slicer.org/publications/pages/display/?entriesPerPage=50&collection=11 3D Slicer related publications]
* It would be ideal if workshop participants could come with specific ideas or questions related to how the software might relate to their own research or clinical interests.

==Software Installation==
We will use 3D Slicer version 4.4, which is available for Windows, Mac, or Linux from [http://download.slicer.org the slicer.org download page].
