3D Slicer “ecosystem”. Slicer is a cross-platform package, but certain requirements on the graphics system, such as OpenGL drivers, should be met to support accelerated rendering. Its dependency libraries are portable across platforms and are distributed under compatible licenses. Those dependencies that are part of NA-MIC Kit often share the 3D Slicer developer community and are developed in synergy with the Slicer efforts. Slicer itself consists of the main application framework (core) and plugins (modules). Custom functionality is introduced by implementing external modules (Slicer extensions).
