Preparation for Workshop -- Important Information for all attendees

All attendees are required to complete the following items prior to the workshop. With this large group and small time allotment, there will be no time to .

1. Software Installation:
2. Data to Download:
3. Introductory tutorial on Loading, Viewing and Saving image data in Slicer

We will be happy to assist anybody who may encounter difficulties in the installation process. As first point of contact, send an email to the NAMIC-developers mailing list which will be closely monitored by NA-MIC Tookit experts. Because we will focus on how to use the application(s) during the workshop not on how to install it, please do the install before you arrive.
