3D Slicer

3D Slicer is a free, open-source, extensible application for visualization and image analysis, particularly for medical images. Funded and directed by the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC), the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC), the National Center for Image-Guided Therapy (NCIGT), and numerous other NIH and government initiatives, 3D Slicer is being applied to research and applications ranging from pre-clinical animal studies to surgical planning and guidance, medical robot control, and population studies.

In collaboration with the NA-MIC community, Kitware, a leader in the creation and support of open-source software as well as data visualization and analysis algorithms, is the lead development team for 3D Slicer version 4. That version now features a highly-tuned Qt interface, a plug-in architecture, and integrated support for python scripting to customize its look and its workflow.
