[[Image:Screen Shot 2012-02-09 at 10.11.08 AM.png|right|thumb|300px|Charting was introduced to Slicer 4 in February of 2012]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3D Slicer is a cross platform desktop application for &lt;br /&gt;
*image visualization and &lt;br /&gt;
*image processing &lt;br /&gt;
*3D Slicer is a free, open source package available as an executable for multiple operating systems (Windows, MAC, Linux). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Computers running 3d Slicer need enough memory and graphics capabilities to hold both the original data and the processing results in their memory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Recommended Hardware Configuration=&lt;br /&gt;
* Memory: more than '''4GB''' (8 or more are recommended).&lt;br /&gt;
* Display: a minimum resolution of '''1024 by 768''' (1280 by 1024 or better is recommended).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Dedicated''' graphics hardware and memory (1GB is recommended).&lt;br /&gt;
* Many computations in Slicer are multi-threaded and will benefit from multi core, multi CPU configurations.&lt;br /&gt;
* Interface device: a three button mouse with scroll wheel is recommended. For other devices, see [[Documentation/4.0/SlicerApplication/MouseandKeyboardShortcuts#Rotate.2C_Zoom.2C_Pan|here]] for &amp;quot;how to&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Internet connection to access online documentation of modules and tutorials&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Recommended OS versions=&lt;br /&gt;
*Windows 7 64bit&lt;br /&gt;
*Mac OS X Lion&lt;br /&gt;
*Linux: recent versions of popular distributions should work.  Ubuntu and Fedora are the most widely used distribution among the developers.  &lt;br /&gt;
=32 bit versus 64 bit=&lt;br /&gt;
Note that many clinical research tasks, such as processing of large CT or MR volumetric datasets, require more memory than can be accommodated with a 32 bit program. We advise the use of the 64 bit versions of the Slicer wherever feasible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Examples of Working Configurations=&lt;br /&gt;
==Feb 2012==&lt;br /&gt;
The entries below are hardware/OS combinations which will work with the downloaded executable for the current Slicer 4 release. This are just examples of working configurations.&lt;br /&gt;
*Apple: 15-inch MacBook Pro, 2.3 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB Memory, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024MB, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3&lt;br /&gt;
*Windows: Generic Desktop, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB Memory, AMD Radeon HD 5700, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit&lt;br /&gt;
*Linux: Dell Precision m4500, Quad-Core Intel Core i7, 16GB Memory, NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 880M, Ubuntu 10.10&lt;br /&gt;
