> You can start Slicer with a script that hides all user interface elements that you don’t need. Maybe it could be then considered as a “simple DICOM viewer”. You can also run it in a docker container and make it available in a web browser (you then don’t even need to install anything).

I might have to explore that option then. Would it similar to the “Slicelets” mentioned in this post?

> Operating system: win 10 Slicer version: 4.8 Expected behavior: Actual behavior: Hi Guys, Is it possible to create a standalone application with 3D slicer and run it without 3D Slicer launching? I mean the application can works in other computers without 3D Slicer. Thanks a lot!

Then I should be able to make a standalone application that has the four up view and the segmentations/segment editor module. Is that possible? I’m familiar with basic coding but not too familiar with Python so I’m also wondering how feasible this would be for me to get set up.
