This paper just came out about neurosurgery work at University College London in the UK using Slicer.

> **[Integrated multi-modality image-guided navigation for neurosurgery:...](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33937966/)**
>
> We present an integrated open-source research platform for multi-modality IGS. The present prototype system was tailored for neurosurgery and met all minimum design requirements focused on skull base surgery. Future work aims to optimise the system...

They have a lot of good things to say, but I particularly liked this line:

> We chose to build the system using 3D Slicer software an open-source software package with excellent documentation, enabling us to draw upon the resources of a platform with established large feature sets and a well-defined quality process.
