The answers to my intelliprompts, summarizing the PDF and providing details:
The answer to ‘What is 3D Slicer?’ is:
3D Slicer is a software application for visualization and analysis of medical image computing datasets. All commonly used data sets are supported, such as images, segmentations, surfaces, annotations, transformations, etc., in 2D, 3D, and 4D. Visualization is available on desktop and in virtual reality. Analysis includes segmentation, registration, and various quantifications. It is also a research software platform, which allows researchers to quickly develop and evaluate new methods and distribute them to clinical users. 3D Slicer is completely free and there are no restrictions on how it is used, however, it is not approved for clinical use and the distributed application is intended for research use.
The answer to ‘Is 3D Slicer FDA-approved?’ is:
No, 3D Slicer is not FDA-approved. It is not intended for clinical use and is only intended for research use.
The answer to ‘Who is Ron Kirkinis?’ is:
Ron Kirkinis is one of the major contributors to the 3D Slicer core effort. He is listed as the Principal Investigator in the Acknowledgments section of the 3D Slicer Documentation.
The answer to ‘Who is Andras Lasso?’ is:
Andras Lasso is a benevolent dictator for life in the 3D Slicer community. He can integrate changes to keep the platform healthy and help interpret or address conflict related to the contribution guidelines.
The answer to ‘Who is Steve Pieper?’ is:
Steve Pieper is a Chief Architect for 3D Slicer. He is a major contributor to the core engineering of Slicer and is part of the Slicer team at Isomics. He is also an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School.
The answer to ‘Who created 3D Slicer?’ is:
3D Slicer was created by a international community of scientists from multiple fields, including engineering and biomedicine. Major contributors include Ron Kikinis, Steve Pieper, Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin, Nicole Aucoin, Stephen Aylward, Andrey Fedorov, Noby Hata, Hans Johnson, Tina Kapur, Gabor Fichtinger, Andras Lasso, Csaba Pinter, Jim Miller, Sonia Pujol, Junichi Tokuda, Lauren O’Donnell, Andinet Enquobahrie, and Beatriz Paniagua. Groups contributing to the core engineering of Slicer in a major way include SPL, Isomics, Kitware, the University of Iowa, GE, and the Perk Lab, Queen’s University.
The answer to ‘What are the main use-cases for 3D Slicer?’ is:
3D Slicer is used for visualization and analysis of medical image computing datasets, prototyping and releasing products, and visualization of DICOM datasets and multi-frame datasets. It is also used for exploration of multivolume data, and to display CT or MRI volumes.
The answer to ‘Does 3D Slicer support AI?’ is:
No, 3D Slicer does not have any built-in support for AI.
The answer to ‘What is an extension?’ is:
An extension is a delivery package bundling together one or more 3DSlicer modules that can be added to 3DSlicer by installing the extension.
The answer to ‘How can I clone a node? Please provide Python code.’ is:
# Get a node from SampleData that we will clone
import SampleData
nodeToClone = SampleData.SampleDataLogic().downloadMRHead()
# Clone the node
shNode = slicer.vtkMRMLSubjectHierarchyNode.GetSubjectHierarchyNode(slicer.mrmlScene)
itemIDToClone = shNode.GetItemByDataNode(nodeToClone)
clonedItemID = slicer.modules.subjecthierarchy.logic().CloneSubjectHierarchyItem(shNode, itemIDToClone)
clonedNode = shNode.GetItemDataNode(clonedItemID)
