Hello, I have come across a few posts that explain how to enable the NVidia GPU in 3D Slicer, but they focus solely on volume rendering. For our specific use case, I intend to harness the NVidia GPU for segmentation and 3D segmentation tasks. We handle extremely large and complex datasets that hea…

There is no GPU based segmentation algorithms that I know of. Where the field has moved, is to use GPUs to train complex segmentation models that can be reused to create similar segmentations from new dataset much faster. Examples of those in Slicer are: TotalSegmentator DentalSegmentator MEMOS …

Thank you for your input. I was asking in the context of non-AI-based segmentation. For instance, is it possible to utilize GPU in slicer for operations such as painting, filling between slices etc., directly in 3D, as well as for 3D interaction?

@Figaya as @muratmaga wrote above, the current implementation is generally sufficiently optimized to work acceptably for common segmentation workflows on commonly used data sets. It is possible that your data, or how you are trying to use the application is somehow special and so the application per…

There is a post that mentions enabling Nvidia GPUs for large meshes as well. I hope this is what you’re looking for.
