Faster and better 3D Slicer rendering customization
3D Slicer is a very versatile and powerful medical imaging platform that provides plenty of ways for customization; scripted modules allowing the creation of new logic, Qt widgets in both Python and C++, IO plugins for reading custom file formats, segmentation effects for adding new features to the builtin segmentation tools and much more.
With the introduction of the SlicerLayerDisplayableManager module in 3DSlicer 5.10, extending the rendering pipeline is now significantly easier.
What can you do with it?
Consider a simple example: adding hover-based highlighting to any model in the scene. Using the new library, an experienced Slicer developer can implement this functionality from scratch in just a couple of hours.
This toy example demonstrates how straightforward it is to add selection logic to a custom 3D Slicer module or extension, creating an intuitive user-experience with minimal code.
Getting started
Install the LayerDisplayableManager extension directly from the Extension Manager in 3D Slicer 5.10 or later.
