Since 1999, with support from the NIH and a worldwide open source developer community, we have developed, distributed, and supported 3D Slicer, a free and powerful software platform for analysis, integration, and visualization of medical images that allows even those with limited image processing experience to effectively explore and quantify their imaging data for hypothesis-driven research.

3D Slicer Enabled Research

3D Slicer is a free open source software package distributed under a BSD style license for analysis, integration, and visualization of medical images. 3D Slicer allows even those with limited image processing experience to effectively explore and quantify their imaging data for hypothesis-driven research.


The community that relies on 3D Slicer is large and active: (numbers below updated on April 22, 2019)


The following is a sample of the research performed using 3D Slicer outside of the group that develops it. (Research performed by groups that are also actively developing 3D Slicer is represented in the publication database).

We invite you to provide information using our discussion forum on how you are using 3D Slicer to produce peer-reviewed research. Information about the scientific impact of this tool is helpful in raising funding for the continued support.
