Write 3D model to CT images

Hello gentlemen. I have a 3D model of a mirrored healthy femur proximally aligned to the operated femur. In the 3D slicer I can see the difference and how they are superimposed. But I would like to write the 3D model into a CT, upload it to the hospital system as a CT so that doctors can review it. Do you have a tip on how to write this segmentation into individual layers? I will make a label map from the model, I need to write it into each layer and export it as DICOM.

You can export to standard DICOM Segmentation Object by following these steps in Slicer-5.12 and later:

  • Go to Data module
  • Right-click on the segmentation node and select Export to DICOM... → by default, the export type will be DICOMSegmentation (if it is not, then make sure you use Slicer-5.12 or later)
  • Check the Export to folder checkbox and select a folder for the DICOM segmentation files
  • Click Export

If you want to push the DICOM Segmentation objects directly to the PACS then leave Export to folder checkbox unchecked, which will export the segmentation into the DICOM database. You can then push the segmentation directly to the PACS in the DICOM module.
