Brown 2015

Introduction

The 3D Slicer Brown workshop is a full day course that will combine a series of lectures and hands-on sessions using the 3D Slicer software. The morning session will provide an introduction to the basics of data loading, 3D visualization and image registration. The afternoon session will focus on fundamental and practical aspects of Diffusion MRI analysis.
