Hello Slicer community,

I have recently started working on MR imaging. My work actually involves the development of the tool for improving tractography visualization. Because of the modular support and extensions capability I have chosen 3D slicer to start with.

I want to integrate CUDA acceleration in slicer for some mathematical modeling tasks (not volume rendering). Is there a way to integrate CUDA with slicer python?

Thank you.

In recent Slicer Preview Releases, you can [use CUDA in Slicer’s Python environment the same way as you would use it in any other Python3 environment](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/use-full-power-of-python-in-slicer/7162).
