NA-MIC and NAC at RSNA

Introduction

The 3D Interactive Visualization of DICOM Images for Radiology Applications course will be offered by the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) in conjunction with the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC) at the 97th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA 2011.

Three-dimensional visualization of anatomy is emerging as a vital component of clinical imaging through the combined development of technological breakthroughs in Radiology hardware and increasingly sophisticated software tools for medical image analysis.

As part of the outreach missions of these NIH funded National Centers, we have developed an offering of freely available, multi-platforms open source software to enable medical image analysis research. The course along with the tutorial 3D Visualization datasets aim to introduce translational clinical scientists to the basics of viewing and interacting in 3D with DICOM volumes and anatomical models using the 3DSlicer software.
