New GUI tool streamlines 3D medical image annotation with SAM2

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-source desktop application called Interactive Medical-SAM2 GUI has been developed for semi-automatic annotation of 2D and 3D medical images. Built on the Napari viewer, it integrates SAM2-style propagation with box and point prompting for efficient 3D annotation workflows. The tool allows users to process multiple studies sequentially, refine predictions, and export labels with per-object volumetry and 3D rendering, preserving image geometry. AI

IMPACT Streamlines medical image annotation, potentially accelerating research and development in AI-driven medical diagnostics.
