and Harvard Medical School
Slicer is an Open Source development project begun at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Surgical Planning Laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Slicer is now in active research use at institutions around the world with contributing developers sponsored by a variety of governmental, commercial, and institutional funding sources. MIT retains the copyright to the source code and the SPL coordinates the ongoing development and hosts a wide range of clinical and development efforts using Slicer.
