Hi all! I downloaded 3D slicer, intending to try to produce 3D models of my partner Janine’s jugular restriction, styloid, C1 and soforth. I wasn’t really prepared for how complex the app and the process is! Or at least appears, to a noob! Has anyone here created a very easy to follow step-by-step to achieving my aim in slicer? The general tutorials on you tube, however well made, just leave me feeling old and tired 🤷🏼🥸 ---

There are viewing programs that are much easier to use and have a more intuitive interface. For one month, you can use them for free without any restrictions, but after that, you will only be able to view up to 100 scans. Download the Vidar Dicom Viewer viewing program. This program is only available for Windows and Linux operating systems, and I cannot share the links. The activation code for the JMDB-MLLZ-HT24 Workstation is JMDB-MLLZ-HT24. I have slightly modified the link by replacing www with zzz and replacing the space with a dot. zzz povidar ru/dicom-viewer/v3/setup-vdviewer.exe ---

I don’t know if this is helpful, it was posted quite a while ago… [Making Your Own 3D Images from CT Scan- 3D Slicer Tutorial - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/making-your-own-3d-images-from-ct-scan-3d-slicer-tutorial/988) ---

@rickeaves - If you’re trying to use radiantviewer. com, here’s a post w/ a video about how to use it, but it may be the video that previously confused you. Consider setting the video speed to slower than normal &/or pausing it as steps are given so you can do a step before the next one is suggested. That may be more helpful than watching the whole video then trying to remember what it said. > [@RadiANT DICOM Viewer tutorial](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/radiant-dicom-viewer-tutorial/12613): > > I came across this RadiANT DICOM Viewer tutorial that in just eight minutes gives you quite a good overview how to use this viewer, including rendering 3D, reconstructing multiplanar views, using measurement tools and much more. [[How to use RADIANT Dicom viewer? I Radiology Basics I Dr Anuj Aggarwal] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOVzHRozKgs) I’d dare to say that for a typical user, the RadiANT Viewer is vastly superior and easier to use than Slicer 3D. The only real drawback that it is a paid tool, however, it gives a tri… ---

Thankyou for this much appreciate your help here. I’ve shelved the idea for the moment because of other priorities. I will investigate this program when I have more time. ---

I use Bee DICOM viewer. I think it can go PC or MAC. It is very user friendly and Ive tried 5 different programs. ---

Thankyou, another I will investigate. (:
