Background

Slicer3 is used to perform meaningful research tasks. As part of the NA-MIC Training Core activities we are building a curated portfolio of tutorials for the basic functions and specialized functionality available in Slicer. Our current portfolio of tutorials as well as tutorials that were developed in past contests are posted on the NA-MIC training compendium.

Tutorial Contest Goal

The primary purpose of this contest is to enrich the training materials that are available to end-users and developers using 3D Slicer and the NA-MIC kit. We believe contestants will be motivated to participate to enhance the dissemination of their own algorithms that they have incorporated into the Slicer3 platform and/or to enhance training of Slicer3 functionality for their own laboratory groups.

There will be three categories:

Entries in each category require the following material:

  • scientific background and application motivation
  • step-by-step instructions
  • anonymized sampel dataset

Rules

  • Tutorial must be based on the March 2011 Slicer3.6.3 release or on Slicer4.
  • To enter the contest, you must provide a version of the tutorial that works on all supported platforms (Mac,Windows,Linux)+.
  • Tutorial and all of its components (data, powerpoints/pdfs, additional modules etc.) must be released under the Slicer license
  • Tutorial data must be anonymized
  • Tutorial must include contact information of the primary author (e-mail and phone number)

+Applicants will work with the NA-MIC Training and Dissemination Cores in advance to do the multi-platform testing.
