Slicer4 is used to perform meaningful research tasks. As part of the NA-MIC Training Core activities we are building a curated portfolio of tutorials for the basic functions and specialized functionality available in Slicer.

The primary purpose of the Summer 2013 tutorial contest is to enrich the training materials that are available to end-users and developers using 3D Slicer and the NA-MIC kit. We believe participants will be motivated to join this event to enhance the dissemination of their own algorithms that they have incorporated into the Slicer4 platform and/or to enhance training of Slicer4 functionality for their own laboratory groups.


There will be three categories:

  • Category 0: EXTENSION TUTORIAL
    In this category, the tutorial will teach a user how to use an Extension of Slicer.
  • Category 1: END TO END SOLUTION TUTORIAL
    In this category, the tutorial will teach a user how to solve a particular clinical problem using the NA-MIC Kit.
    Example: White Matter Exploration for Neurosurgical Planning
  • Category 2: ALGORITHM TUTORIAL: In this category the tutorial will teach a user how to make an algorithm work on their data.
    Examples: Quantitative Imaging tutorial
  • Category 3: METHODOLOGY TUTORIAL. Application-level tutorials for users and developers.
    Examples: Fiducials


Entries in each category require the following material:

  • scientific background and application motivation
  • step-by-step instructions
  • anonymized sampel dataset

Rules

  • Tutorial must be based on the Slicer4.2.1 release version .
  • To enter the contest, you must provide a self-test that can be run in Slicer and a version of the tutorial that works on all supported platforms (Mac,Windows,Linux)+.
  • Tutorial and all of its components (data, powerpoints/pdfs, additional modules etc.) must be released under the Slicer license
  • Tutorial data must be anonymized
  • Tutorial must include contact information of the primary author (e-mail and phone number)
  • Tutorial must follow the guidelines specified above and use the Summer 2013 contest tutorial template.
  • If applicable, the tutorial must provide clear directions for downloading and installing additional modules

+Applicants will work with the NA-MIC Training and Dissemination Cores in advance to do the multi-platform testing.
