If you are still searching for a solution to this problem you might be interested in the new ModalityConverter extension: [New extension: ModalityConverter - bringing AI medical image-to-image translation to 3D Slicer](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/new-extension-modalityconverter-bringing-ai-medical-image-to-image-translation-to-3d-slicer/44405) You can use it to generate a synthetic CT from your MRI images, from which you can then easily extract the skull with the Segment Editor.
