Good afternoon. Could you please tell me what the reason that Ondemand CT scan files (DCM) are not readable by a slicer? When uploading images, I only get the starting image.

Ondemand scanners generate invalid DICOM files. See details in this topic:
The DICOM files have multiple sever DICOM non-conformities. The most serious are:
CharacterSet is not saved in the file. It seems that the file uses Windows-1251 code page, which is not even a valid DICOM character set.
XRayTubeCurrent field is stored incorrectly (it must be an integer value, the value is 4.1 - see David Clunie's Blog: The DICOM Exposure attribute fiasco )
There are also some incorrectly generated UIDs.
I would recommend to contact your device manufacturer and report these …
Please report the issues to the manufacturer. Until the manufacturer fixes its software you can use the workaround described in that topic.
