Featured Projects

AutoscoperM Hierarchical 3D Registration in Action: AutoscoperM’s Hierarchical 3D Registration extension for 3D Slicer automates six-DOF rigid alignment of skeletal anatomy. In this example, tracking a metacarpal bone across a 3D CT sequence. It defines ROIs around each bone, registers the root node first, then propagates optimized transforms through the anatomical hierarchy for accurate motion and kinematic analysis.

Leverage 3D Slicer for Medical Imaging

If you’re working at the intersection of medical imaging research and product development, chances are you’ve heard of 3D Slicer—the free, open source software platform transforming how we visualize, analyze, and process medical images. But knowing what’s possible with 3D Slicer is only half the battle. The real question is: how can you tailor it to meet your unique needs?
