National Alliance for Medical Image Computing What do we contribute – Core2 Slicer Development –Slicer 2.x maintenance and training –Slicer 3 design and implementation “Application Focus” in Core 2 –Communicate user needs to Cores 1 and 2 –Slicer as testing ground for NA-MIC Kit tools meant to be used in other applications –Synergistic with Dissemination Role

National Alliance for Medical Image Computing What do we contribute – Core6 Getting the “NA-MIC Message” to a broader community –Workshops –Collaborations –Publications Internal Dissemination –Helping the Alliance stay in sync

National Alliance for Medical Image Computing How do we fit with NA-MIC Many, Many ties with NA-MIC Participants –SPL: NAC, mBIRN, fBIRN, NCIGT, R01s… –Collaborations: UIowa (funded), Northwestern (resubmission this round), Berkeley (1 st submission this round), JHU (in planning stages) –SBIR, DARPA, NSF and other cross-site activities

National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Review Slicer3, Slicer3, Slicer3, … Kickoff of Iowa Meshing Collaboration Slicer2.6

National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Plans Slicer3 clean up, release, maintenance Help Create Training Materials –End Users –Command Line Module Developers –Interactive Module Developers Begin to disseminate Slicer3

National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Goals for Isomics in NA-MIC Make the NA-MIC Kit a “must have” software package for any Medical Image Computing Developer/Researcher/User Ensure NA-MIC Kit is suitable for use in clinically applicable medical products Promote the NA-MIC Community as the leaders in Medical Image Computing
