Once you've completed
your segmentation,
you'll want to export it to
a model, which is [3D] Slicer's
term for meshes, so that
you can save it from
[3D] Slicer and use it in
other programs for
further analysis.
First, you'll need to go
to the segmentations
module.
You can get
to this either
from this button on
the segment editor or
you can just go to
the modules menu and
click segmentations.
You want to make sure
the segment you're
interested in
exporting is selected.
>> Then you'll go
down to this tab,
Export / Import
Models and Label Maps.
Select Export
and select Models.
And you can
just let it export
to a new model hierarchy.
Then you just click Export.
Now you can see
this model has
appeared in our 3D view.
And if we go to
the Models module,
we can see this model
underneath our hierarchy.
Now all we have left to
do is save the model.
You can click
Save in the upper
left and then you'll see it
down here called
Segment_1.VTK.
>> This is not
the data format I
would recommend
using. And out of
these five that
[3D] Slicer provides,
I would either go
with an STL or
dot OBJ unless you
have other specific
requirements.
Since these
are going to be
the most universal
file formats.
My preferred one is STL.
>> And then you can
just click save
and you'll have your model.
