Course Description

The NA-MIC Kit is a free open-source software platform for biomedical researchers and algorithm developers working in the fields of medical image analysis, visualization and image-guided therapy. This NA-MIC Kit Software Workshop is a two-day interactive course allowing scientists and trainees to learn about the NA-MIC Kit, including 3D Slicer, The Visualization Toolkit (VTK), The Insight Toolkit (ITK) and CMake. Participants will receive hands-on training in the end-user applications and software libraries, making this course applicable to both clinical users interested in using the software for their image analysis and visualization tasks, and software developers considering using the NA-MIC Kit as their software platform.

Pre-workshop Preparation List

The workshop is a series of hands-on sessions. All participants should complete the Developer Prerequisites in advance of the workshop. This includes both building Slicer from source, building the additional software and downloading the datasets.

  • Note: Building Slicer can take up to 2 hours.
  • We recommended the following configuration: Windows XP, Linux (x86 or x86_64), Mac OS (ppc or Intel), 2 GB of RAM and a dedicated graphic accelerator with 128 MB of on board graphic memory.
  • Please contact the Slicer Users mailing list for support and questions related to the software.
