Events:TutorialContestJanuary2016
Back to Winter project week Agenda
Slicer4.5 is used to perform meaningful research tasks. As part of the 3D Slicer Training activities we are building a curated portfolio of tutorials for the basic functions and specialized functionality available in Slicer.
The primary purpose of the Winter 2016 tutorial contest is to enrich the training materials that are available to end-users and developers using 3D Slicer. We believe participants will be motivated to join this event to enhance the dissemination of their own algorithms that they have incorporated into the Slicer4 platform and/or to enhance training of Slicer4 functionality for their own laboratory groups.
There will be five categories:
- Category 0: EXTENSION TUTORIAL
In this category, the tutorial will teach a user how to use an Extension of Slicer. - Category 1: END TO END SOLUTION TUTORIAL
In this category, the tutorial will teach a user how to solve a particular clinical problem using the NA-MIC Kit.
Example: Neurosurgical Planning Tutorial - Category 2: ALGORITHM TUTORIAL: In this category the tutorial will teach a user how to make an algorithm work on their data.
Examples: Quantitative Imaging tutorial - Category 3: METHODOLOGY TUTORIAL. Application-level tutorials for users and developers.
- Category 4: TUTORIAL UPGRADE/UPDATE"'. This category allows teams who participated in the past tutorial contest editions to submit an update/upgrade of their previous submission.
Entries in each category require the following material:
- scientific background and application motivation
- step-by-step instructions
- anonymized sample dataset
