Hi everyone,

I have a rather general question, what version of 3DSlicer (4 or 5) would be preferable for 3d morphological analysis using landmarks? I saw that version 4 had an extension called SlicerMorph which is missing in version 5, if I am not mistaken.

I would in general appreciate extension-recommendations, for analyses using DICOM files from CT scans of oral an pharyngeal fish jaws.

You should work with the current stable release 5.0.3. SlicerMorph is available and is the right tool for what you describe.

Hello everyone,  
I was looking for VolumetoModel in Utility Modules as described by Rolfe et al., 2020. I don’t know if it’s still available, it’s not mentioned in the 2021 article.  
Thanks for SlicerMorph 👏 👍  
I am using Slicer 5.2.2

We disabled that module since it had a very fairly specific use case (segment a number of volumes with identical threshold settings and save them as models) and not generally applicable. But the source code is still available, if it is any of use to you.

Normally you would use the segment editor and then export the segmentation as a model. Or write your custom script to do the same.
