Summary
The community of Slicer developers is proud to announce the release of Slicer 4.8.
The development of Slicer, including its numerous modules, extensions, datasets, patches sent on user and developer lists, issues reports, suggestions, ... is made possible by awesome users, developers, contributors, commercial partners from around the world and also invaluable grants and funding agencies.
For more details, see Acknowledgments page.
- Slicer 4.8 introduces
- Close to 1000 feature improvements and bug fixes have resulted in improved performance and stability
- More than 15 new and improved core modules and more than XX extensions
- Click here to download Slicer 4.8 for different platforms and find pointers to the source code, mailing lists and the 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 Slicer are not fully tested.
- The Slicer Training page provides a series of tutorials and data sets for training in the use of Slicer.
- slicer.org is the portal to the application, training materials, and the development community.
