Someone can give me a hand with the extension airway segmentation, because I don´t know how to make it work. I’ve tried to prove it with the CT chest example dicom but it never renders anything.

Help please!

Hello @cpinter. Thank for your answer

I´m trying to segmentate trachea and main bronchi form CT chest images. There is a slicer model called airway segmentation that I intended to use for that purpose. But I couldn´t make it work, after giving it the fiducial point inside the trachea nothing got rendered when I clicked over the apply button, instead a red dot appeared where there should have appeared the complete segmentation. Finally I got the trachea segmentated using the tool “level tracing effect”, it isn’t automatic but it isn’t either too much time consuming. Nevertheless i’d prefer automatic segmentation, if possible.

Some counsel???
