*this will contain a list of the most common scenarios encountered for Slicer Registration. Each case will contain a dataset, a parameter set, a guided tutorial with example result. The hierarchy will be represented graphically as a tree and as a list with links to the abovementioned data. The library will be as exhaustive as possible, containin brain and non-brain, different modalities (MRI, CT, PET/SPECT).

Reference Manual

  • The reference manual will be organized by submodules and contain detailed descriptions of each parameter and each control element within the slicer registration module. The description should help the user understand what exactly that function/parameter does and if/how useful it will be for their specific registration problem.
  • Each entry will have one short description (that could also serve as tooltip) and one longer, more technical explanation.
  • links to journal articles for in depth algorithm info
  • Preferred formats: Slicer Wiki, maybe PDF, cross-linking required
  • Draft Registration Reference Manual

User Manuals & Tutorials

Contact

  • if there is anything you think would be of help to the 3DSlicer registration user, be that documentation, examples or features, we'd love to hear about it:
