TomoSAM: a 3D Slicer extension using SAM for tomography segmentation

Abstract: TomoSAM has been developed to integrate the cutting-edge Segment Anything Model (SAM) into 3D Slicer, a highly capable software platform used for 3D image processing and visualization. SAM is a promptable deep learning model that is able to identify objects and create image masks in a zero-shot manner, based only on a few user clicks. The synergy between these tools aids in the segmentation of complex 3D datasets from tomography or other imaging techniques, which would otherwise require a laborious manual segmentation process.
