This example demonstrates how to run Grow from seeds effect in batch mode (without GUI, using qMRMLSegmentEditorWidget) using 3D Slicer

SegmentGrowCutSimple.py

import SampleData

# Load master volume
sampleDataLogic = SampleData.SampleDataLogic()
masterVolumeNode = sampleDataLogic.downloadMRBrainTumor1()

# Create segmentation
segmentationNode = slicer.mrmlScene.AddNewNodeByClass("vtkMRMLSegmentationNode")
segmentationNode.CreateDefaultDisplayNodes() # only needed for display
segmentationNode.SetReferenceImageGeometryParameterFromVolumeNode(masterVolumeNode)

# Create seed segment inside tumor

tumorSeed.SetCenter(-6, 30, 28)

tumorSeed.Update()
segmentationNode.AddSegmentFromClosedSurfaceRepresentation(tumorSeed.GetOutput(), "Tumor", [1.0,0.0,0.0])

  backgroundSeed = vtk.vtkSphereSource()

append.Update()

# Create segment editor to get access to effects

segmentEditorNode = slicer.mrmlScene.AddNewNodeByClass("vtkMRMLSegmentEditorNode")
segmentEditorWidget.setMRMLSegmentEditorNode(segmentEditorNode)
segmentEditorWidget.setSegmentationNode(segmentationNode)
segmentEditorWidget.setMasterVolumeNode(masterVolumeNode)

# Run segmentation
segmentEditorWidget.setActiveEffectByName("Grow from seeds")
effect = segmentEditorWidget.activeEffect()
# You can change parameters by calling: effect.setParameter("MyParameterName", someValue)
# Most effect don't have onPreview, you can just call onApply
effect.self().onPreview()
effect.self().onApply()

# Clean up and show results

To run a file like this, would you download it to a text editor and run the code from the text editor itself or through the 3D slicer module? If the latter, do you ever encounter issues where the display disappears with the reload and test?

This is a code snippet, not a module, so you cannot load it as a module (it has not GUI, so if you replace a module with this script then the previous module GUI will disappear and nothing will be displayed instead).

The quickest is to copy-paste the code from here to Slicer's Python console. If you want to edit/rerun it with different parameters then I would recommend to use Jupyter notebooks with Slicer chosen as kernel.

Thanks for making this, would there be a way to manually paint the seeds and then run the script using the painted seeds?

Yes, of course. You can then simply use Segment Editor module in 3D Slicer and the "Grow from seeds" effect. See a simple example here: https://youtu.be/cybL5A0w3hw

what are the best segmentation methods of maxillary bone?

@DrMohamedAssadawy please post this question on the Slicer Forum.

When I run this code using my own CT data, there is an error as follows. How can I solve it?
File "qt-scripted-modules\SegmentEditorEffects\AbstractScriptedSegmentEditorAutoCompleteEffect.py", line 301, in onApply
previewContainsClosedSurfaceRepresentation = previewNode.GetSegmentation().ContainsRepresentation(
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetSegmentation'
