Preparation

  • Attendees may wish to review the web sites related to 3D Slicer research:
    • slicer.org the main project web site
    • na-mic.org a community of researchers using 3D Slicer and related software
    • ncigt.org a large project related to imaging and interventional/surgical therapy
    • slicerrt.org a project focused on radiation therapy
  • To get an idea of the types of research, have a look at 3D Slicer related publications
  • It would be ideal if workshop participants could come with specific ideas or questions related to how the software might relate to their own research or clinical interests.
