Description
The 3D Slicer (or simply Slicer) software was initially developed as a joint effort between the Surgical Planning Lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital and at the MIT AI Lab. The program has evolved into a national plattform supported by a variety of federal funding sources. This versatile research environment has resulted in a wide array of functionality, supporting a variety of medical imaging projects.
Slicer is a "point and click" end-user application. Slicer is used as a vehicle for delivering algorithms to computer scientists, biomedical researchers and clinical investigators. Slicer is distributed under an open source license without a reciprocity requirement and without restrictions on use. For a sampling of the portfolio of applicatons, please see the Slicer Gallery page.
Slicer is expected to evolve dynamically in architecture and implementation by drawing on the expertise and effort of the wider NA-MIC, NAC, BIRN and NCIGT communities. The NA-MIC software engineering methodology, as applied to the problems which Slicer has historically addressed, is expected to result in a cleaner architecture that is easier for developers to support and extend.
Major funding for Slicer was provided through a variety of federal and private funding sources, including NCRR, NIBIB, Roadmap, NCI, NSF, DOD and others.
