Introduction

A Slicer tutorial will be hosted by the Biomedical Imaging Research Centre (BIRC) of the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada, on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. The primary objective of this event is to introduce users to the Slicer environment, as well as to illustrate the ability to integrate with ITK and Python modules. The concept of interfacing Slicer with imaging and tracking systems using Open IGTLink will also be discussed. The event will be held in the Room 3008, of the Dental Sciences Building, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. This course will be followed at 5:30pm by a BIRC Seminar "Open Source Platforms for Collaborative Research - Examples from 3D Slicer" delivered by Dr Ron Kikinis. The seminar will take place in Auditorium A of University Hospital, on the University campus.

Logistics

  • Date: June 15, 2011
  • Location: Room 3008, Dental Sciences, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada
  • Registration: To sign-up for this event, please fill in the registration form and send it by e-mail to Kathryn Hayes (hayes at bwh.harvard.edu) before June 7.

Room Configuration - Fisher Conference Room

24 port switch, wireless, two LCD projectors and screens, 6 power strips available for additional power.

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.

  • Datasets: Datasets will be available for download a few weeks before the event.

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).
