AI Features setup¶
AI Features are optional. They run on your computer after a one-time download. Images are not uploaded for processing.
Do this chapter before the tool walkthroughs on davidson_cxr and CT_Head_With_Contrast.
Goal¶
Download the models you need and choose Harmonize resolution for this workstation.
Open setup¶
From the Welcome screen only: click AI Features.
Close the project (or start the app) to return to Welcome if you need to download models or change Harmonize resolution later.

What you configure (V19)¶
| Item | Needed for demo |
|---|---|
| Remove burned-in text (OCR) | Chapter 8.1 — davidson_cxr |
| Harmonize CT pack + resolution (1.5 / 3 / 6 mm) | Chapter 8.2 — CT_Head_With_Contrast |
Face de-identify + academic license aca_… |
Chapter 8.3 — CT_Head_With_Contrast |
| Brain structures (optional licensed pack) | Chapter 8.2 — Harmonize brain-structures prompt |
There are no project on/off checkboxes. If models are installed and ready, tools appear in Series View and batch.
First-time steps¶
- Open AI Features.
- Download Remove burned-in text, Harmonize (CT), and Face de-identify.
- Enter or validate the academic license when prompted (face / brain structures).
- Choose Harmonize CT resolution; download if the pack is missing.
- Optionally download Brain structures for the Harmonize demo.
- Close the dialog. Preferences stay on this workstation.
Internet only for download
After models and license are in place, processing is local. On macOS, install the OpenMP C++ library before using Harmonize / related AI Features: brew install libomp (see Install).
Remove models¶
Use Remove on a tool card to delete downloaded files. This does not undo changes already written to anonymized images.
What good looks like¶
- Status shows ready for OCR, Harmonize CT, and Face.
- You can open Series View tools on the demo series in Process chapters 8.1–8.3.
If it fails¶
- Download incomplete → check network and retry.
- TotalSegmentator / OpenMP on macOS →
brew install libomp. - License invalid → check
aca_format or the vendor URL in the dialog.
