Slicer Tutorial at RSNA 2008 The 3D Interactive Visualization of DICOM Images with Slicer course is offered by the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC) in conjunction with the Neuroimage Analysis Center (NAC) and the National Center for Image Guided Therapy (NCIGT). The learning objectives of the workshop are (a) to enhance interpretation of DICOM images through the use of 3D visualization, (b) to gain experience with interactive assessment of complex anatomical structures (c) to present current directions of open-source computer graphics applications in Radiology. This workshop takes place on Monday, December 1, 2008, between 1-2:30pm, at S401CD, McCormick Place, Chicago. Read more...

Prostate Workshop, MICCAI 2008 In this half-day workshop we will discuss state-of-art in medical image processing and computer assisted intervention of the prostate.
