| − | == Overview: ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | This workshop offers day-long instruction on using 3D Slicer software, hands-on overview of its basic use, and demonstrations of advanced features. Participants will become familiar with the 3D Slicer's extensive functionality, and should depart with the ability to apply its suite of tools in their own work.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Background
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3D Slicer is a freely-available and open source package for medical imaging analysis; its development began at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Surgical Planning Laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital. 3D Slicer (or simply "Slicer") uniquely integrates several facets of image-guided medicine into a single environment. It provides capabilities for automatic registration (aligning data sets), semi-automatic segmentation (extracting structures such as vessels and tumors from the data), generation of 3D surface models, 3D visualization, and quantitative analysis (measuring distances, angles, surface areas, and volumes) of various medical scans. Slicer is available for download both in source code format for developers who wish to add custom features, and in pre-compiled binaries for Linux, Windows, and Sun Solaris platforms (for users familiar with a point-and-click menu environment). Slicer has a broad base of users and developers (with over 4000 downloads worldwide as of early 2004) and is actively used as a research tool in diagnostic and interventional clinical settings worldwide.

| − | Participants should be comfortable with the use of GUI-based software tools, familiar with medical imaging applications, and have an interest in applying image analysis or visualization in their work.
