Hello everybody,
I am working on creating annotated segmentation data for a project and a colleague recommended me to use 3D Slicer for the task.
I have installed 3D Slicer as well as its SlicerRT extension and have successfully loaded and visualized the segmentation for a data sample, which consists of multiple CT files and a RTSTRUCT.dcm file. Now I have to manually annotate other samples that I am given, and then export to corresponding RTSTRUCT.dcm files.
Could you please give me some advice on how I can get started with 3D Slicer for this task? Any references to tutorials/slides/videos are very much appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Thanks a lot! And sorry for the delay (I missed the notification email).

I would like to learn more about using Slicer to do 3D segmentation. Could you guys please point me to more references?
On the [official page](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.8/Training#Segmentation) there are two tutorials listed:
1. Segmentation for 3D printing: shows how to use the Segment Editor module for combining CAD designed parts with patient-specific models.
- **[Segmentation for 3D printing Step-by-step tutorial
](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.8/Training#Segmentation_for_3D_printing)**
- Author: Csaba Pinter, MSc
- Audience: Users and developers interested in segmentation and 3D printing
- Based on: 3D Slicer version 4.7
1. **[Video tutorial: Whole heart segmentation from cardiac CT](https://youtu.be/BJoIexIvtGo)** shows how to use the Segment Editor module for segmenting heart ventricles, atria, and great vessels from cardiac CT volumes.
- Author: Andras Lasso, PhD
- Audience: Users who need to segment heart structures, for example for visualization, quantification, or simulation.
- Sample data set
- Based on: 3D Slicer version 4.8
Unfortunately I don’t feel that they are enough for me ☹
I have found some additional tutorials on Google, e.g. [see my replies be low because I’m a new user so I cannot put more then 3 links] but they are for Slicer 3 ☹ Could anybody with experience have a quick look and tell me if they are still relevant for Slicer 4?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Segmentation tutorials for Slicer 3 that I found:
[https://www.slicer.org/w/images/8/80/OrbitSegmentationTutorial.pdf](https://www.slicer.org/w/images/8/80/OrbitSegmentationTutorial.pdf) or [http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/projects/BRATS2012/Jakab\_TumorSegmentation\_Manual.pdf](http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/projects/BRATS2012/Jakab_TumorSegmentation_Manual.pdf)

There are 3 step-by-step tutorials and several segmentation recipes on the [training page of the latest Slicer version](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Segmentation).
You can also find lots of questions and answers about segmentation on this forum (see [segmentation tag](https://discourse.slicer.org/tags/segmentation) or use the search function).
You may get help at any of the [Slicer weekly hangouts](https://discourse.slicer.org/c/community/hangout) or if you attend a [Slicer project week](https://na-mic.github.io/ProjectWeek/).
If any of your questions are not answered, feel free to post it as a new topic in this forum.

There are a number of videos about performing certain segmentation tasks on this channel:
