This is probably a stupid question, but how do you work with Monai Label with data on your own device? Do you have to set up a dicom server like Orthanc and access it locally? Also, if you have a folder on your desktop with a bunch of nrrd files containing the segmentations how can you access those segmentations to train your model?

You can work on the MonaiLabel on your own, there is no requirement that the MonaiServer needs to be remote. You don’t need to to setup a DICOM server. That is pushed directly from the MonaiLabel module within Slicer via standard http protocols. Apart from making sure the Monai server is working correctly, there is nothing else. See GitHub - Project-MONAI/MONAILabel: MONAI Label is an intelligent open source image labeling and learning tool.

I guess I am not understanding the instructions. Do you need to both install the Monai Label extension and the python package in order to run a local monai label server? Currently, when I click on the button to start the server it says:
It also doesn’t give me any options to direct the server towards any files on my actual computer, whether they are image files or nrrd labelmaps for annotations.
Yes, those are two separate steps.
MonaiLabel extension in Slicer is technical a client to the MonaiLabel server. MonaiLabel server can be on your own machine, or on the cloud. But you have to install that, it can be a bit involved.
@rbumm created a nice step-by-step instruction in the last project week. You may want to try those.
Alright thank you very much.
Hi @stevenagl12,
Sorry, I just saw this post. As @muratmaga mentioned, MONAI Label can work locally as well.

This is a very good question, if you organize the folders like this (MONAI Label Workshop - Project Week - YouTube), you could train a MONAI Label app as you wish.

I hope this helps
