Introduction

This page contains talking points for the opening session of the NA-MIC AHM 2014 (the last one).

What we have accomplished

  • Created an outstanding scientific and engineering community in the field of Medical Image Computing (MIC).
  • Investigated novel algorithmic approaches: Particle systems,
  • Created the NA-MIC kit, a free open source platform for MIC.
  • Turned 3D Slicer into an industrial-strength interactive platform for subject specific image analysis.

Where we are today

  • Many algorithm papers, prototypes, and tools
  • Slicer 4 is high performance and will be stable for several years

Where we go from here

  • NIH mandated sunset for NA-MIC in June 2014.
    • NAC funded through 2018.
    • QIICR funded through 2018.
    • Several other grants are being worked on
  • Project weeks will continue, as long as there is continued interest by the community.
  • Slicer 4 will be maintained as a stable platform.
  • The remaining months of NA-MIC funding will be used to simplfy extension submission.
