Preparations

• Hardware The workshop combines oral presentations and instructor-led hands-on sessions with the participants working on their own laptop computers.

All participants are required to come with their own laptop computer and install the software and datasets prior to the event. A minimum of 1 GB of RAM (4 GB is better) and a graphic accelerator with 64mb (512MB is better) of on-board graphic memory are required. Shared memory graphics boards have significantly poorer performance.

• Software installation: Please install the Slicer3.6.3 release version appropriate to the laptop computer you'll be bringing to the workshop
• Windows: Slicer3-3.6.3-2011-03-04-win32.exe
• Linux 64: Slicer3-3.6.3-2011-03-04-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
• Linux 32: Slicer3-3.6.3-2011-03-04-linux-x86.tar.gz
• Mac Darwin: Slicer3-3.6.3-2011-03-04-darwin-x86.tar.gz

• Datasets: Please download the 3D Visualization dataset, Diffusion dataset, and White Matter Exploration dataset in preparation for the workshop.

Slicer Community

Participants are invited to join the Slicer user and Slicer developer community prior to the workshop, for questions and feature requests related to the software.

For questions related to the workshop, please send an e-mail to Sonia Pujol (spujol at bwh.harvard.edu).
