How to use latest VISTA-3D in Slicer?

[amitjc]

Dear Experts,

The latest VISTA-3D has a phenomenal potential to segment organs and tumors [Liver, hepatic masses, hepatic vessels (portal vein, hepatic veins)]. I thank @heyufan1995 et al. for this model.
However, this currently (as far as I can Understand) can only be executed through commandline. This doesn't allow the point-click interaction with CT scan images as the earlier version Vista-2.5D offered. This limits the capability of refining the segmentation, using the interactive slicer tools.

Is there a possibility of incorporating the latest VISTA-3D in the slicer MONAILabel plugin?

Look forward to guidance for achieving this through the Slicer plugin.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Amit.

Writing such a module should be straightforward if someone wants to invest the time.

A place to start would be to see if the code can be installed directly in the Slicer python environment.

Thank @pieper for prompt reply.

I tried replacing the 2.5D model weight with the vista3d weight and modified vista_point_2pt5.txt but failed to have the plugin operational.

Look forward to further suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,
Amit.

Look forward to further suggestions.

Well, if you are familiar with Python you can review the code and look at how similar Slicer extensions. If you aren't a programmer you may need to find a collaborator or wait to see if someone implements what you are looking for.
