• Abstract: Deep learning frameworks like nnU-Net achieve state-of-theart brain lesion segmentation performance but remain difficult to deploy in clinical research environments due to, among other reasons, software dependencies and computational requirements. We introduce StrokeSeg2, a lightweight, modular, cross-platform C++/Qt framework designed to adapt resource-intensive 3D stroke segmentation pipelines into portable and reproducible applications. To improve compatibility with standard clinical workstations, we investigate the combined effect of architectural compression through knowledge distillation and inference optimisation using ONNX Runtime with Float16 quantisation. Across heterogeneous hardware configurations (CPU, integrated GPU, and dedicated GPU) architectural distillation emerged as the primary contributor to efficiency gains, contributing to over 90% reduction in energy consumption and an average 84% reduction in inference time. Specifically, we identify a 0.84M-parameter student model as the most favourable trade-off, reducing the original 102.3M-parameter teacher architecture to a 2.1 MB disk footprint while preserving robust lesion localisation and competitive segmentation performance. This small footprint supports the development of a self-contained installer for clinical workstation targets. Finally, StrokeSeg2 packages these optimisations into standalone installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux. By providing both graphical and commandline interfaces without Docker or external environment dependencies, StrokeSeg2 facilitates deployment of high-performance segmentation workflows for routine clinical research pipelines.
