Project Description

This project focuses on the development of different anatomical atlases for educational purposes. These atlases and their creation process will be used as training material in the 3DSlicer training programs project.

Objectives

1. The creation of anatomical atlases as new elements for educational purposes.
2. The introduction of African professionals in the creation of these atlases using 3D Slicer.
3. The discussion of new projects that could arise

Approach and Plan

1. Training using the 3D Slicer segment editor
