The Scoop

Introduction

This page contains talking points for the opening session of the NA-MIC AHM 2014 (the last one).

Slicer downloads by country and region

Created an outstanding scientific and engineering community in the field of Medical Image Computing (MIC).
Investigated novel algorithmic approaches: Particle systems, registration algorithms, segmentation algorithms,
Created the NA-MIC kit, a free open source platform for MIC and the basis for 3D Slicer.
3D Slicer is today a platform with worldwide impact.

Robust algorithms for segmentation in the face of anatomical variability: label fusion
A novel framework for modeling brain connectivity networks
Robust pipeline for processing clinical brain images
Automatic 4D segmentation of longitudinal brain MRI in severe TBI
NAMIC researchers take lead in spatio-temporal image and shape analysis (Whitaker, Styner, Gerig, Tannenbaum and colleagues)

Project week will continue.
3D Slicer 4 will continue.
The remaining months of NA-MIC funding will be used to simplify the submission of extensions.
