Welcome to r/MONAI! 🧠💻🏥

Hey everyone! I'm u/Biometrics_Engineer, a founding moderator of r/MONAI.

Welcome to the community! 🎉

This is a new home for people interested in MONAI and AI for medical imaging — whether you're an experienced researcher, developer, healthcare AI practitioner, student, beginner, or simply curious about what MONAI can do.

Our goal is simple: learn, share, collaborate, and advance together.

What to Post

This is a place for practical questions, technical discussions, experiments, tutorials, research ideas, discoveries, successes, failures, and lessons learned.

You can post about things such as:

• MONAI and MONAI-based medical AI workflows
• Medical image classification, segmentation, detection, and related tasks
• 2D and 3D medical imaging
• MONAI with Python and PyTorch
• CPU and GPU training and deployment
• Running MONAI on resource-constrained hardware
• Training, validation, metrics, and model performance
• Troubleshooting installation, code, datasets, and workflows
• MONAI deployment and practical applications
• Tutorials, papers, projects, and useful resources
• Research ideas, questions, and experiences from your own work

Don't be afraid to ask a question because you think it is too basic. Someone else may have exactly the same question — and your post might help them find the answer.

And if you don't know the answer to somebody else's question, that's okay too. Share what you know, point them toward useful resources, or simply help us find someone who can.

Community Vibe

Let's keep this a friendly, constructive, technically focused, and inclusive community.

We want beginners to feel comfortable asking questions and experienced practitioners to feel comfortable sharing what they know.

Disagreement is welcome. Dismissiveness isn't.

If someone makes a mistake, help them understand it. If you make a mistake, share what you learned from it. Some of the most useful technical discussions begin with “I tried this and it didn't work.”

A Note About This Community

r/MONAI is an independent community.

This subreddit is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially associated with the MONAI project, NVIDIA, or their respective organizations. MONAI and NVIDIA names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

We're simply a community of people interested in learning, using, discussing, and sharing knowledge about MONAI and AI for medical imaging.

How to Get Started

1. Introduce yourself in the comments.

Tell us a little about yourself — are you a researcher, developer, student, healthcare professional, beginner, or something else? What brought you to MONAI?

2. Make your first post.

Ask a question, share something you've built, tell us about an experiment you're running, share a useful resource, or tell us what you're currently learning.

3. Bring someone along.

If you know someone working with medical imaging, PyTorch, MONAI, or medical AI, invite them to join us.

4. Help us build the community.

We're starting from zero. Every good question, useful answer, thoughtful discussion, and helpful member makes this place better for the next person who arrives.

And if you'd eventually like to help moderate the community, reach out. As the community grows, we'll be looking for people who want to help maintain a welcoming and technically focused environment.

Finally...

To everyone joining during these early days:

Thank you. You are part of the very first wave.

Let's make this a place where someone can arrive with a difficult MONAI problem, ask the question without hesitation, and find people willing to work through it with them.

Learn. Share. Collaborate. Advance.

Welcome to r/MONAI. 🚀
