Retired Modules

The modules listed below have been retired and are no longer present in 3D Slicer. This page exists as a convenient marker for historical details about retired modules.

Retiring modules reduces burden on Slicer developers. Most common reason for retiring a module is that a new, improved module is introduced. A module may also be retired if it no longer works properly (for example due to changes in Slicer core or third-party libraries) and it is not worth investing time into fixing the issue, because the module is not widely used or alternatives exist.

• Annotations

  • Retired: 2023-01-02, commit f44849b

  • Reason: Superseded by the Markups module.

• ACPC Transform

  • Retired: 2023-06-07, commit TBD

  • Reason: This was not a general-purpose module, but one highly specific to neuroimaging. Therefore it was moved to SlicerNeuro extension.

• Editor

  • Retired: 2021-11-05, commit 39283db

  • Reason: No longer running properly and superseded by the Segment Editor module.

• Label Statistics

  • Retired: 2021-11-05, commit cf62bcf

  • Reason: Superseded by the Segment Statistics module.

• Expert Automated Registration

  • Retired: 2022-02-19, commit 87fd349

  • Reason: No longer running properly. BRAINS, Elastix, and ANTs registration toolkits offer superior registration results, see Automatic Image Registration section for details.

• DataStore

  • Retired: 2022-04-26, commit fbbac34

  • Reason: Infrastructure for uploading and organizing datasets was based on the obsolete Slicer server based on Midas. Associated datasets are available as release assets associated with the Slicer/SlicerDataStore GitHub project.
