Three core objectives

Bridging the gap between advanced medical imaging technology and the Latin American community.

Localization

Translating the 3D Slicer platform and its tutorials into Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese so language is never a barrier to learning.

Tutorial automation

Engineering the Slicer Tutorial Maker extension to automate the generation, localization, testing and versioning of tutorial workflows.

Hands-on training

Running workshops and outreach events with localized 3D Slicer to empower the next generation of researchers and clinicians.
