Hey!  
Does someone know how to set the parrameters of the skullstripper extension with the use of python code?

skullWidget = slicer.modules.Skullstripper.widgetRepresentation()  
— need to set the inputs here first  
skullWidget.appry()

I know like Segment editor you can write something like this;  
segmentEditorWidget = slicer.qMRMLSegmentEditorWidget()  
segmentEditorWidget.setMRMLScene(slicer.mrmlScene)  
segmentEditorNode = slicer.vtkMRMLSegmentEditorNode()  
slicer.mrmlScene.AddNode(segmentEditorNode)  
segmentEditorWidget.setMRMLSegmentEditorNode(segmentEditorNode)  
segmentEditorWidget.setMasterVolumeNode(some\_volume)

I cant understand how to reach this for skullstripping.

All help is appreciate 🙂

This is a CLI module that you can run from Python as described here: [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Python\_scripting#Running\_a\_CLI\_from\_Python](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Python_scripting#Running_a_CLI_from_Python)

Give [SwissSkullStripper extension](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Modules/SwissSkullStripper) a try, too. It may work better.
