Registration in 3D Slicer

An extensive set of tools is available within 3D Slicer to support your registration or image fusion task. The right module will depend on your input data and the underlying question asked. Below is an overview of the main and auxilary modules related to image registration. The spectrum ranges from fully automated to fiducial to fully interactive manual alignment, and from rigid to fully elastic image warping. Most modules are generic and can handle any image content, but a few are designed specifically for brain images. They have a brain contour in the icon.
There are also many auxilary/support modules that perform important functions you may need to successfully complete your registration, such as the ROI or Interactive Editor modules to obtain masks, or the Resample modules to properly apply your result transform to the image.
Finally the Slicer Registration Case Library provides example cases, complete with tutorials, for a variety of registration problems collected in the "real world". You may find an excellent starting point and helpful discussion in those examples. If you find something amiss, please let us know so we can amend.

Registration Examples / Use-Cases

  • The Slicer Registration Case Library contains a (growing) collection of registration example cases to download and try yourself, complete with step-by step tutorial, image data, parameter presets, solutions and discussion of the particular challenges and strategies. We hope you will find a case similar to yours in this library that will provide an educated starting point. If you cannot find a similar case, take advantage of our Call for Example Datasets to add your case to the library.
