Hello.

I have already installed pyradiomics and Slicer RT via extension manager.

In the DICOM RT structure file, there are contour data for regions of interest (ROIs) [1]) of the tumor shape.  
In the DICOM file, I have an MRI of the patient.  
I searched for Radiomics in the 3d slicer’s module and ran it. I put the DICOM RT file in the “input regions” and the MR image in the “Input Image Volume”.  
As shown in the image below, I was able to successfully extract the Radiomics Features from the MR image of the ROI (Tumor).

Here I have two questions

1. the features and calculated values are displayed in a table, but is it possible to export them to an excel file?  

2. i need to do these operations multiple times. So I want to do these labor intensive things automatically.  
Is it possible to automate this with python code?  
For example, I have 100 RT structure (outlined tumor regions) DICOM files and 100 DICOM (MR brain) images, can I use code to automatically extract features in pyRadiomics & 3d slicer to do the work at once?

1. Click on the save button, only select the table node, then choose either csv or tsv, and save. You can open it in Excel
2. Yes. I suggest starting from the [script repository](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html) and look at the code of Slicer and the extension itself when in doubt. The forum contains a lot of topics about python automation of certain workflows as well.
