AI-Powered Automatic Segmentation Assistant for 3D Slicer

Support Feature requests
1

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in contributing to 3D Slicer by developing an AI-Powered Automatic Segmentation Assistant.

The idea is to provide a user-friendly workflow for applying modern AI segmentation models to medical images and automatically creating/editing Slicer segmentations.

I’m considering integration with existing approaches such as MONAI, nnU-Net, and other medical segmentation models, while making the design modular so additional models can be added later.

Before starting implementation, I’d appreciate feedback from the Slicer community on whether this would be useful, whether similar functionality already exists, and what architecture/workflow would be most appropriate for an upstream contribution.

I’m particularly interested in suggestions regarding integration with Segment Editor and existing Slicer AI/segmentation infrastructure.

Have you tried nnInteractive? It’s already quite usable, but I’m sure there are additional features that would be nice. It would be good if you could contribute to the ongoing project instead of starting something new.
