Key Investigators

  • Wentworth Institute of Technology: Parth Amin
  • Boston College: Farukh Kohistani
  • BWH/Harvard Medical School: Dr. Sonia Pujol

Objective

We are developing the documentation for the Slicer 4.4 Data Loading and 3D Visualization training module, SlicerWelcome Tutorial, Slicer4Minute Tutorial, Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tutorial and Neruosurgical Planning Tutorial. The goal is to create a step-by-step training module showing how to use the new features of Slicer 4.4.

Approach, Plan

Our approach for documentation of Slicer 4.4 is to provide an intuitive and up-to-date training module that will be the starting step for new users joining the Slicer community. The main challenge to this approach is to be relevant for the all gamut of Slicer new users, from first-year students to brain surgeons.

Our plan for the project week is to update all the necessary tutorials to the latest version for new users to be able to accurately maneuver through 3D Slicer with the use of the tutorials. Finally we will put together a Wiki page that guides the trainee toward completion of the tutorial learning outcomes.

This work experience is part of our internship under the supervision of Dr. Pujol. She teaches us that rigor is key when working with life-saving medical platforms.

Progress

We have successfully provided a full tutorial with the assistance of Dr. Pujol for the 3D Data Loading and Visualization module to help new users navigate there way around the Slicer software.

To Do:

-Work on the other tutorials under the supervision of Dr. Sonia Pujol at BWH to improve for new users.
