Operating system: windows 10  
Slicer version: 4.10.2 r28257  
Expected behavior: I have a set of dicom images that are rotating radially with 10 degrees apart, totally 18 slices for left ventricle in the heart.  
Actual behavior: I imported the DICOM data in slicer, but instead of getting a volume of image, I got individual image. I can’t use it for segmentation. Is there a way to get around it?

Thank you!

You can either reconstruct a volume from slices using SlicerIGSIO extension or place markup points in each slice and use “Markups to model” to reconstruct a surface.

To give you more specific instructions, we would need some more information. Is it a TEE image? What would you like to segment? Can you post a screenshot of how the image appears in Slicer? Can you upload a scan of a phantom (or anonymized) data set somewhere and post the link here?
