2012 Summer Project Week Breakout Session:Ultrasound

Back to agenda

Objective

We discuss how to use 3D Slicer in ultrasound (US)-guided interventions. Our goal is to identify common functions in these applications and create a platform from them in 3D Slicer.

Time/Date/Place

• In 2012 Slicer programming week
• 1pm - 3pm, Thursday, June 21, 2012
• Grier, MIT

Coordinator

• Tamas Ungi, Queen's University
• Kirby Vosburgh, BWH
