Slicer 3-3.7-alpha

Slicer, or 3D Slicer, is a free, open source software package for visualization and image analysis. 3D Slicer is natively designed to be available on multiple platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac Os X.

You may download different versions of Slicer3 and find pointers to the source code, mailing lists and bug tracker. Please note that Slicer continues to be a research package and is not intended for clinical use. Testing of functionality is an ongoing activity with high priority, however, some features of Slicer3 are not fully tested.

3D Slicer consists of more than over a million lines of code, mostly C++. This massive software development effort has been enabled by the participation of several large scale NIH funded efforts, including the NA-MIC,NAC, BIRN, CIMIT and NCIGT communities. The funding support comes from several federal funding sources including NCRR, NIBIB, NIH Roadmap, NCI, NSF and the DOD as well as others.
Portal pages on this website have been designed for end users and developers.
Slicer executables and source code are available under a BSD-style, free open source licensing agreementunder which there are no reciprocity requirements, no restrictions on use, and no guarantees of performance. Slicer leverages a variety of toolkits and software methodologies that have been labeled the NA-MIC kit. Please click here to read more about the NA-MIC kit.
History: Slicer was initiated as a masters thesis project between the Surgical Planning Laboratory at the Brigham and Women`s Hospital and the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 1998. Slicer has been downloaded many thousand times. A variety of publications were enabled by the Slicer software. A new, completely rearchitected version of Slicer was developed and has been released in 2007. In May of 2008 version 3.2 of Slicer has been released.
