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

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.
