Slicer in Image Guided Therapy
This is a project page for an open-source surgical navigation software for Image Guided Therapy. The project try to extend 3D Slicer, freely available, open-source software for visualization, registration, segmentation, and quantification of medical data, and apply the extended software for Image Guided Therapy.
- Free open-source software for Image Guided Therapy research
- Provides software foudation (GUI, Image I/O, 3D viewer, tracker support), and you can focus on developping your original clinical application
- Available for Windows, Mac, Linux
- Access to state-of-art scientific medical image processing algorithm as well as most of commercial tracking device
- Affiliated scientific workshops and seminars to discuss and exchange ideas
- Increasing visibility of your research in IGT community using popular software platform
- Available for commercialization by concealing proprietary codes*
