Description
The 40th NA-MIC Project Week was a hybrid event held in person at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain, from January 29 to February 2, 2024. This was the first in-person Project Week for Latin American team members: Lucas Sanchez Silva and Prof. Luiz Otávio Murta Junior from Brazil, and Enrique Hernández Laredo from Mexico attended in person.
The team worked on the 3D Slicer for Latin America project, presenting a functional prototype for creating tutorials within 3D Slicer (Tutorial Maker), divided into three main stages: tutorial generation via Python scripts, annotation creation, and a Painter module for reconstruction.
Key Achievements
- Tutorial GenerationDevelopment of Python scripts to create and modify screenshots and Slicer environment metadata in a language-independent format using the Slicer self-test infrastructure.
- Annotation GenerationA graphical interface integrated into 3D Slicer for placing arrows, circles, rectangles, and text annotations directly onto screenshots.
- Painter ModuleA final stage that retrieves data from the previous steps to accurately reconstruct annotations, addressing challenges with dimensions and button positions across different languages.
