Right click, and choose Export as LabelMap. Then, you can save as NRRD or Nifti basde on your usage. Slicer does not allow exporting 3D volumes as sequences of 2D formats (like JPG). You should be able to do DICOM, though.

Hi Yoav,

Were you able to export the segmentation as binary image?  
Can you please share how you did it? (preferably through jupyter Notebook)

thanks in advance!
