Introduction: Slicer Nightly Tutorials

  • This page contains "How to" tutorials with matched sample data sets. They demonstrate how to use the 3D Slicer environment (version Nightly release) to accomplish certain tasks.
  • For tutorials for other versions of Slicer, please visit the Slicer training portal.
  • For "reference manual" style documentation, please visit the Slicer Nightly documentation page
  • For questions related to the Slicer4 Compendium, please send an e-mail to Sonia Pujol, Ph.D

Some of these tutorials are based on older releases of 3D Slicer. The concepts are still useful but bear in mind that some interface elements and features will be different in updated versions.
