The [ImageAugmenter](https://ciroraggio.github.io/SlicerImageAugmenter/tutorial) extension can be helpful. It’s available in the Preview Release of 3D Slicer (currently v5.7.0).

It can be used with any kind of volume, not just CTs. In this case, I don’t know if it can be the best option, but you can try it.

@maniron You can now use the ModalityConverter extension to generate synthetic images using AI models! [GitHub - ciroraggio/SlicerModalityConverter: SlicerModalityConverter is an open-source 3D Slicer extension designed for medical image-to-image (I2I) translation. The ModalityConverter module integrates multiple deep learning models trained for different kind of I2I translation, providing a user-friendly interface.](https://github.com/ciroraggio/SlicerModalityConverter)
