Slicer User Orientation
Slicer is an open-source software application for computer scientists and clinical researchers.
The platform provides functionality for segmentation, registration and three-dimensional visualization of multi-modal image data, as well as advanced image analysis algorithms for diffusion tensor imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging and image-guided therapy. Standard image file formats are supported, and the application integrates interface capabilities to biomedical research software and image informatics frameworks.
Slicer is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
