Where do we want to go?
• June 9 8:30 – 5:00, Satellite Event to the Organization for Human Brain Mapping 2007 (Chicago)
• Diffusion MRI Neuroanatomy, MR Physics, Clinical Applications, Mathematics, Processing and Visualization
• Hands On Exercises with 3D Slicer 2.6• Outcome
– Most Attendees Stayed Late for Q&A, Extra Demonstrations
– 100% reported they would recommend the workshop to others
– 50% are planning to apply the tools and information they learned to their own work
• We want to migrate to these events to Slicer3
– New Algorithms– Cleaner Design
50 registered from 9 countries: USA, New Zealand, Canada, Netherlands, England,
Germany, Korea, Czech Republic & Belgium
13 states within the US: Georgia, Utah, New York, Wisconsin, Hawaii, California, Oregon,
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Indiana & Michigan
40 different laboratories including 2 NIH institutes
Fields of expertise representative of the NAMIC collaboration- basic and clinical
neurosciences, physics, image processing and computer science

What other goals?
• Make the NA-MIC Kit indispensable for Medical Image researchers (e.g. DBP Users)– Install on your new computer like
cygwin or firefox
• Powerful, Productive Platform for Developers
• Reliable, Usable, Documented…

What is Slicer3?
• Total Rework of 3D Slicer– At least 80% of code rewritten
• Draws on Distributed Developer Community
– Kitware, Inc., GE Research, Isomics, Inc., BWH, UCLA, UCSD, UIowa, MIT, GaTech, UNC, U Utah, MGH, UCI, Harvard, WashU, JHU…
– NAC, NCIGT, NA-MIC, mBIRN, fBIRN

What’s the plan?
• Working with DBPs to Apply Slicer3
• Training Core Creating First Tutorials
• Slicer3 Release Schedule– To be determined at this meeting
• NA-MIC Renewal Needs– Application Publications with New
Algorithms Implemented in NA-MIC Kit
