>The 3D Slicer uniquely integrates several facets of
image-guided medicine into a single environment. It provides
capabilities for automatic registration (aligning data sets),
semi-automatic segmentation (extracting structures such as
vessels and tumors from the data), generation of 3D surface
models (for viewing the segmented structures), 3D visualization,
and quantitative analysis (measuring distances, angles, surface
areas, and volumes) of various medical scans.</P
><P
> The 3D Slicer is freely available and provided as open
source software. Its design is fully modular to encourage
researchers to extend its functionality. It's new home is at
