Hi, New Slicer user here. When trying to Load DICOM images, I receive the above error. When the prompt appears (Do you want to try loading anyway?), and I click yes, I get the following error: “Could not load: 1: Unnamed series as a scalar volume” I have found a workaround to get the image loade…

胎儿超声数据立体化 ultrasound data three-dimensional

It looks like you’ve loaded a screenshot (dicom calls this a ‘secondary capture’) which is why there’s no geometry information for 3D operations.

Pardon the ignorance, but I’m not sure how to interpret that. There are only two options on our machine to export as ‘DICOM (dcm)’ or ‘DICOM and DICOM DIR’. I have tried both. Here is a download link for my Dicom Directory used in this issue. They load as volumes, hence my confusion. Any help would…

Sorry for the delayed response, I’m just back from vacation. This ultrasound volume is a GE Kretzfile image, which can be loaded into Slicer: install SlicerHeart extension and restart Slicer delete DICOMDIR file from the folder where you want to import DICOM images from drag-and-drop the folder to…

(I’m sure the instructions are super easy for someone who has a general understanding of all of this imaging stuff (I’m a Systems Administrator (seemingly) in over my head trying to find a solution fo…

For processing the data set, you may need to learn a bit about image segmentation. Completing these tutorials should help: https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Training#Slicer4_Image_Segmentation

Good day. I’m getting this error too. I’m using the newest release, 4.10. I tried the suggestion to install SlicerHeart but it still didn’t work. The only way I was able to load the file was by using the Data icon like what kylemcclanahan described. After the file is loaded, I try volume render…

I tried loading ultrasound dcm files last night for the first time. I could only see one image of the entire volume in the red view (conventional widescreen). Though there are many files in the data set, only the red view as an image and it is just a single image. If I try to scrub through the frame…
