Does Slicer have the ability to segment an MRI & export the ROI in both DICOM & NiFTI file formats?

I’m using Slicer version 4.10.2 on Mac.

Thanks!

Yes, you can segment using [Segment Editor module](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/image_segmentation.html) and export to DICOM using [DICOM module](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Modules/DICOM#DICOM_export).

I would recommend to save segmentation into nrrd format and not nifti, but if you must use nifti then you can export segmentation to labelmap volume (right-click on it in Data module) and you can save the resulting labelmap as nifti.
