Hello everyone,
I am using 3D Slicer for cardiac MRI (LGE/PSIR) image analysis. My goal is to perform registration and ROI-based analysis between pre- and post-procedure LGE images.
However, I encountered an issue when importing a cardiac PSIR LGE DICOM series.
After loading the DICOM series, 3D Slicer does not display the complete 3D volume correctly.
The problems are:
- The sagittal view shows part of the cardiac image;
- The axial/coronal views only show a thin line or a single slice;
- The 3D view does not display a normal cardiac volume.
It seems that the DICOM series may not have been reconstructed correctly as a 3D volume.
My workflow:
- Imported the DICOM folder using the DICOM module;
- Selected the PSIR 15 min LGE series;
- Loaded the volume into Slicer.
I would like to ask:
- Does this problem usually indicate that the DICOM series was not recognized correctly as a 3D volume?
- Could this be related to incorrect slice ordering, slice spacing, or missing/incorrect Image Position Patient information?
- What is the recommended workflow for importing short-axis cardiac PSIR LGE MRI datasets into 3D Slicer?
- Are there any specific DICOM settings or plugins required for cardiac MRI reconstruction?
I attached a screenshot of the issue.
Thank you very much for your help!
