Hi all,

I have been working with the new MONAI Auto3DSeg and have a few questions if someone could help me out:

1- Where can I find the source for the models used? For example, “Madiastinal anatomy TS2” is not in MONAI’s [model zoo](https://monai.io/model-zoo) and it’s also not an available subtask or roi\_subset in [Total Segmentator](https://github.com/wasserth/TotalSegmentator).

2- Were some of these models trained by Slicer community contributors?

3- Is there a way to run Auto3DSeg’s inference from cmd line without launching Slicer and switching modules?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Most models that you can find online in various model zoos are not [optimized for real-world usage](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerMONAIAuto3DSeg/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#general-guidelines). We created these models with @diazandr3s specifically to make them practically, clinically useful.

You can download these models and run them without Slicer GUI, from the command-line or via network requests within Slicer’s Python environment; or even completely independently from Slicer. To make it really easy to use without Slicer, we have separated the inference script into a [standalone Python file](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerMONAIAuto3DSeg/blob/main/MONAIAuto3DSeg/Scripts/auto3dseg_segresnet_inference.py).
