DICOM 2D cine MRI is imported as Scalar Volume

[aabrown100-git (Aaron Brown)]

I have a DICOM file containing a cine MRI on a single slice of the heart (4-chamber slice). I want this to load as a Sequence. Instead, it is loaded as a scalar volume, so that each time frame is treated as a different z-slice.

There are suggestions for how to load DICOM as a Sequence here: https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/modules/sequences.html#load-dicom-file-as-sequence-node

Give that a try and post back if it doesn’t work for you.

Thanks for sharing those suggestions. When I do that, I get this screen. It looks like the populated table only has one row, with Reader: Scalar Volume. What does this mean exactly?
