You can access the functionality provided by dcmqi in 3D Slicer using QuantitativeReporting extension. Specifically, you can use QuantitativeReporting to prepare segmentations of DICOM imaging series, define semantics of the segmentation, calculate measurements and export the result as DICOM. You can also load DICOM segmentations, measurement structured reports and parametric maps with QuantitativeReporting, which is using dcmqi to support data conversion. See user guide of QuantitativeReporting for further details.
dcmqi itself is also available as a 3D Slicer extension. It provides the libraries and converters that can be integrated with other 3D Slicer extensions. If you are developing an extension for 3D Slicer, you can access dcmqi converters by specifying dependency on dcmqi 3D Slicer extension.
QuantitativeReporting should be available as an extension in the nightly version of 3D Slicer, starting November 2016. We always suggest that you use the latest (nightly) version of the software when you try it for the first time.
Download the latest nightly release for your platform from http://download.slicer.org.
Do NOT use installers tagged as "Stable Release"!
After downloading, follow the installation procedure for your platform.
If you use Mac, make sure you move the Slicer application to the Applications folder on your computer before launching it!
Once installed, open 3D Slicer Extension Manager by clicking the icon as shown below.
Search for QuantitativeReporting and install the extension by clicking the INSTALL button.
It is currently not possible to upgrade an extension without upgrading the 3D Slicer application.
If you need to upgrade the software, download the latest nightly release of 3D Slicer and install QuantitativeReporting as explained above.
