When I upload some sequence DICOM files, an error was displayed:- Error: Loading C:/Users/zmm/Desktop/3D-slicer/00435240-20160729/03ef60b7.dcm - load failed.  
Error: Loading C:/Users/zmm/Desktop/3D-slicer/00435240-20160729/03ef60b8.dcm - load failed.。。。

But I can upload other files，The file name is：1.3.46.670589.33.1.16232996592204449097.23921923892334763750.dcm

why？Is it about the name of the file？what can I do to solve this problem？ THANKS VERY MUCH

You need to select the CT volume that you want to quantify as the “Scalar volume” in Segment Statistics module.
