Welcome to the 3D Slicer3.2 User Training 101

The information on this page applies to 3D Slicer version 3. If you are looking for materials about Slicer version 2, please visit the Slicer2 101 page.

  • Slicer 3 has been designed as
    • an easy-to-use application for 3D image analysis and visualization,
    • an open-source environment for software development,
    • a technology delivery platform for community breakthroughs.
  • Slicer3 is distributed under a BSD open source license, and is designed to enable a collaborative development environment.
  • This page contains training materials and data sets for self-guided training in the use of Slicer3
  • For questions about the materials on this page, please send an e-mail to Sonia Pujol, Ph.D. (spujol at bwh.harvard.edu).
