You should have a look at this: [https://chestimagingplatform.org/workstation-slicer-cip](https://chestimagingplatform.org/workstation-slicer-cip)

This tutorial might be what you need:

There’s no programming required, but you will need to also learn some of the basics of Slicer usage (see [slicer.org](http://slicer.org))

Hmm, I don’t know myself. It must be documented, maybe in one of the other tutorials for CIP.
