Kitware is hosting a free webinar on **Getting Started with 3D Slicer for Medical Imaging** on **Wednesday, October 21st, from 12 - 1 PM ET**.

In this webinar, Kitware’s Sam Horvath and Ebrahim Ebrahim will walk through the fundamentals of 3D Slicer and demonstrate how it can be used for **medical image segmentation**. The session will cover:

- Navigating 3D Slicer and loading medical imaging data

- Using the built-in Segment Editor tools

- Approaches for segmenting anatomical structures and regions of interest

- Popular AI-based segmentation tools

- A demonstration of the TotalSegmentator module

The session is designed for **researchers, developers, engineers, and clinical or medical users** who are new to 3D Slicer or want to better understand its segmentation capabilities.

The event is free, but you do have to register beforehand:
