3D Slicer is free open-source extensible image processing software for the analysis and visualization of medical images. The software is not restricted in its use, though the developers note that it's not approved by the FDA for clinical use.[5]

Product history

3D Slicer was first conceived by David Gering, an MIT graduate student, as part of a master's thesis project in 1998 and 1999.[6] Teaming up with the Surgical Planning Laboratory at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, Gering and the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory developed 3D Slicer as a "community-based platform created for the purpose of subject-specific image analysis and visualization."[1] The two entities continued work on the software, which as early as 2000 was made open-source and freely available via an FTP server.[3] By early 2007, the download and contribution process modernized to allow direct download and access to repositories without initial registration.[7]

By 2015, new inventive uses for 3D Slicer were being described, including the 3D printing of models using imaging data for both surgical planning[8] and personal use.[9]

Funding

3D Slicer development is funded in part by the National Institutes of Health through numerous research and development projects.[2]
