Objective

Build a stripped down version of Slicer containing core functionalities only. To be used for image-guided therapy in the OR. Need to be stable enough for OR use and feasible to apply for Health Canada / FDA approval.

Approach, Plan

Discuss past experiences in obtaining approval for clinical use of Slicer.

Analyze all the dependencies of Slicer, see which of them are really needed. Try to remove those that are not essential.

Develop a use-case scenario. It would be important to have an easy way to toggle between FDA compliant and standard mode, including customizations and plug-ins.

Progress

Delivery Mechanism

Summary of discussions and planned next steps will be posted on this page.
