Slicer and Slicer for IGT have been designed for research purposes only and have not been reviewed or approved by the Food and Drug Administration or by any other agency. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT CLINICAL APPLICATIONS ARE NEITHER RECOMMENDED NOR ADVISED. Read the [License for Slicer] for details. One may use Slicer for Image Guided Therapy (IGT) in clinical studies at his/her own risk after approval from his/her institution through its own IRB certification procedure. The example clinical cases listed in this website are either from mock-up or clinical validation study approved by IRB that weighed the merit against the risk of using Slicer for IGT, which is not recommended for clinical use.
