Please update your 3D Slicer version to version 5.2.2 stable. Does the error persist?

Please describe in more detail how you load your data. Is this DICOM, a \*.nrrd file, or a \*.mrb file?  
Have you run Lung CT Segmenter before Lung CT Analyzer?

It would be helpful if you could provide a screenshot of the error message and/or a log file. It could also help if you would provide the Lung CT Analyzer version number.

I have updated the version to 5.2.2 stable version, pythoch1.13.1+cu117, Chest\_ Imaging\_ Platform version: fccea26 (2023-02-22), LungCTAnalyzer version: 3ae8061 (2023-03-10), but the error still exists.  
I want to use the Lung CT Segmenter plug-in, which is available when using lungmask R231, and use lungmask LTRCLobes\_ R231 reported an error  
The imported patient file is in. dcm format, and the screenshot of Python Console is as follows:

Thank you. In this case, the AI tool “lungmask LTRCLobes\_R231” generates this exception.

Is it correct to assume that you imported your DCM data via the DICOM database → “Import DICOM data”?

Could you please do an additional test:  
Close 3D Slicer, reopen it and load the CTChest sample dataset

Process Lung CT Segmenter with lungmask AI just to make sure the basic installation works.

Yes, but there are also problems when using the test lung CT  
Unfortunately, I was wondering if there was something wrong with my installation?

OK, I reinstalled 3dslicer and used CTChest sample dataset for testing. The first error is shown in the following screenshot

Please restart 3D Slicer (“run as Administrator”), type

into the Python Console and post the output.

Thank you. It seems that “lungmask” has been installed, but the same error may be reported after that:

Try running “lungmask R231”. Same result?

“Lungmask R231” can always operate normally

@rbumm Your code specifies to install the latest of the lungmask python module.

> <https://github.com/rbumm/SlicerLungCTAnalyzer/blob/d613598f8b97015dbb78b3d2dc06294292074247/LungCTSegmenter/LungCTSegmenter.py#L2135>

The lungmask python module appears to require a specific version of Simple ITK (1.2.4)?

> <https://github.com/JoHof/lungmask/blob/0fe26b940aeff52196e34909d265c1d15488867c/requirements.txt#L7>

However uninstalling Slicer’s SimpleITK version and replacing it with an older version is not supported currently.

> <https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/6711>
>
> \## Summary
> 
> When installing a package that requires a specific SimpleITK versi…on (e.g., TotalSegmentator requires SimpleITK==2.0.2) then installation of that package may replace Slicer's SimpleITK.
> 
> The new SimpleITK package mostly works, but the ITK IO plugins that Slicer provides (e.g., for in-memory file transfer between Slicer and ITK) don't work anymore.
> 
> \## Steps to reproduce
> 
> Run \`pip\_install('TotalSegmentator')\`.
> Slicer's SimpleITK is uninstalled and SimpleITK-2.0.2 is installed.
> 
> \## Expected behavior
> 
> Slicer's SimpleITK should not be uninstalled.
> 
> \## Environment
> \- Slicer version: Slicer-5.2.1
> \- Operating system: Windows 11

</div>

If “lungmask R231” runs normally it indicates that hardware limitations, most probable the limited dedicated video RAM that you have available on your system, could cause the error when using “lungmask LCTRLobes\_R231”.

Indeed, it seems that this is the key point of the problem. Is there any other solution for me to use “lungmask LCTRLobes\_R231”?

</div>

I thought so at the beginning, but under the existing hardware conditions, is it possible for me to try and experience “lungmask LTRCLobes\_R231”?  
As [jamesobutler]said, it may be the reason for the Simple ITK version? Will it help me switch to the old version of 3dslicer?

When I create a fresh 3D Slicer install and just do:

```auto
slicer.util.pip_install("https://github.com/JoHof/lungmask/archive/master.zip")

```

the SimpleITK requirement seems to be “already satisfied” and not getting downgraded?

It will not help to switch to an old version of Slicer. “lungmask LCTRLobe R231” works fine on two test systems (one with 6 GB video RAM, one with 8 GB dedicated video RAM) - even that is the low limit for the AI tools. You will probably need to upgrade the hardware or switch to a different computer.

Thanks for checking that. Yes, it appears setup.py specifies a versionless SimpleITK which is good. It is just that the requirements.txt in that repo appears outdated.

I made a new attempt  
I tried a 1660ti graphics card with 6GB of independent graphics memory, running on version 5.2.2 of 3DSlicer, and was unable to call CUDA. However, CUDA is available on version 5.0.3 of 3DSlicer, and it seems that the graphics memory has exploded.
