I want to use the lung lesion analyzer module for lung nodule segmentation and analysis of nodule characteristics. I loaded my lung CT data. Then switched to the lung analyzer module, and put the fiducial on the nodule that I wanted to segment. I ran the algorithm but got no result. The table that has nodule characteristics is empty. How can I use this module? Is there any tutorial for CIP lung lesion analyzer module?

Regrettably, due to a lack of funding, the lung lesion analyzer has become obsolete and is incompatible with 3D Slicer version 5.6.1.

If you want to use it, please install 3D Slicer 4.8.0 [from here](https://slicer-packages.kitware.com/#collection/5f4474d0e1d8c75dfc70547e/folder/5f4474d0e1d8c75dfc705482).  
In the 4.8.0 subfolder, you find the Slicer installers and “extensions”.

Download “26489-win-amd64-Chest\_Imaging\_Platform-git1e850d4-2017-12-07.zip” and unzip it. Then copy the content of “C:\Users\yourname\Dokumente\<extension folder\>\26489-win-amd64-Chest\_Imaging\_Platform-git1e850d4-2017-12-07\lib\Slicer-4.8” into:

And start 3D Slicer 4.8.0. With these steps, you will get the lesion analyzer working.

A tutorial for the lung lesion analyzer is [here](https://cip.bwh.harvard.edu/files/chestimagingplatform/files/lung_lesion_analyzer.pdf).
