Introduction: Slicer Tutorials

  • Some of these tutorials are based on older releases of 3D Slicer and are being upgraded to Slicer 5.0. The concepts are still useful but some interface elements and features may be different in updated versions. For tutorials for older versions of Slicer, please visit the Slicer training portal.
