AHM2012-Slicer-Introduction

Capabilities

Slicer4 is now faster and better than Slicer3 in almost every way:

• Better volume rendering (GPU support on Mac)
• Faster slice rendering and better link behavior
• Better GUI toolkit
• All python (plus newer vtk python bindings and, soon, SimpleITK python)
• Improved diffusion capabilities
• DICOM Networking

But, not all modules have been ported, notably: IA_FEMesh, FetchMI, QueryAtlas, PET/CT Fusion, IGT Modules (OpenIGTLink, NeuroNav, ProstateNav, Collect Patient Fiducials, IGT Tool Selector), 4D Image, Surface Toolbox.

Also several extensions need to be ported: VMTK, ABC, ARTIC, EMFiberCluster, FuzzySegmentation, GAMBIT, GTRACT, HammerRegistration, LabelDiameterEstimation, LesionSegmentation, plastimatch, Spine Segmentation...
