The following serves as a tutorial to those unfamiliar with 3D Slicer who wish to visualize the 3D segmentation data (NRRD) associated with the Prostate-Diagnosis collection. This tutorial assumes you have already downloaded the images and associated NRRD data from TCIA. If you need assistance obtaining these please go back to the Prostate-Diagnosis wiki page for more information on this topic.
Installing 3D Slicer
Browse to http://download.slicer.org/ and install the appropriate pre-compiled binary for your system (Windows, Mac, Linux - 32 or 64bit). The stable release is preferred to the nightly build.
Loading the DICOM data
Upon starting Slicer you will be presented with the "Welcome to Slicer" module and the Conventional viewing layout. From here, click the "Load DICOM Data Button".
