Slicer User Orientation

Slicer is free open source image analysis software with basic functionality that includes the abilities to interactively visualize images, manually edit, fuse or co-register data, automatically segment, analyze diffuse tensor imaging data, and visualize tracking information for image-guided procedures. Armed with these capabilities, researchers have used Slicer for many applications.

Slicer was designed with an easy-to-adapt modular structure to enable development efforts around the world. Already, this development has made Slicer multifaceted, with interface capabilities to other research software including FreeSurfer, Matlab, Python, and Scirun.
