Getting started
Computer specifications
Practical starting points for Studio, Review and Segment. Study size makes a large difference.
8 GB for modest cases; 16 GB preferred for routine work. The developer reports good operation on an M1 MacBook Pro with 8 GB and most routine cases on a 16 GB Windows PC. These are observations, not certified minimums or a guarantee for every case.
At a glance
| Component | Starting point | For larger studies |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 11 x64; or Apple silicon M1 or later with macOS 14 or later. | Use a supported OS and graphics driver. No Intel Mac installer is supplied in this release. |
| Memory | 8 GB for modest cases; 16 GB preferred for usual segmentation and review. | 32 GB or more for large scans, detailed masks, time sequences or several modules open together. |
| Graphics | OpenGL 3.2-capable graphics for Slicer and hardware-accelerated WebGL for Studio. | Dedicated graphics help demanding volume rendering. Apple silicon uses shared unified memory. |
| Storage | SSD, with about 15 GB free for setup and working files, plus your cases and backups. | Allow more for scans, history, reports and case archives. |
| Display and input | 1366 × 768 or above; keyboard and mouse or trackpad. | 1920 × 1080 or above and a scroll-wheel mouse make detailed work easier. |
Why the scan size matters
Segment uses 3D Slicer, whose memory guidance is roughly ten times the loaded data size. Trinetra also needs memory for surfaces, history and open modules. A compressed download's size is not its memory requirement.
Memory planning is based on 3D Slicer's published requirements, with extra practical allowance for Trinetra. The tiers and storage allowance above are planning estimates, not hardware validation.
Other requirements
- Internet for managed activation, lease renewal and optional engine or extension downloads.
- A camera for Theatre hand tracking.
- Permitted private-network access for direct Requests delivery.
- Separate setup and validation for experimental external solvers. This page is not a solver performance specification.
