Can’t import dicom files from Canon ultrasound equipment

Dear

I could not import dicom files from Canon ultrasound equipment. Canon’s dicom format seems to be not suitable to Slicer software.

Using SlicerHeart extension, but I could not import.

My operating system is Win 7 and Slicer version is 4.8.1.

Please, let me your comment.

Best regards,

Is it a time sequence of 2D image frames or 3D image volumes?

Dear

As you mentioned, test file seems to be 3D images volumes.

There is a Dicom loading massage in dicom Browser as follows.

Could not load: test - as a 2 frames Volume Sequence by ImagePositionPatient+AcquisitionTime as a MultiVolume
Could not load: 1: test as a Scalar Volume
Could not load: test - as a 2 frames MultiVolume by ImagePositionPatient+AcquisitionTime as a MultiVolume

Can it be solved?

Can your share a sample data set (non-human or anonymized)?

Most data are stored in two large private DICOM tags. One of them seem to be uncompressed, so there is a chance that it can be decoded with some small software development. Are you familiar with Python scripting or can you ask someone at your or at a collaborating institution to help out? We can give advice how to get started.

Are there any export modes/options on your ultrasound system? Maybe if you export the data in a different format then it can be read directly.
