DICOM data does not load

Operating system:IOS 10.13.6
Slicer version: 4.9.0
Expected behavior: images open when I click “load”
Actual behavior: nothing happens, no images appear

I can see the series in the database and they appear in the DICOM browser, but nothing happens when I try to load them.

can you load the datas with DICOM module?

Is there a crash or just nothing happens?

Can you paste the log here? You can find it in the menu About / Report a problem

If you switch to DCMTK as DICOM loader in Edit / Application Settings then does it load?

Yes

It shows up as loaded data

But still no images

Hi

Still stuck….I think when I am loading the CT scan DICOM data there may be too much information. All the series are being loaded (ie the axial, sag, coronal, 3D RECON, scout etc)

Should I maybe just load the axial images?

The problem is I can see all the series in the DICOM browser but when I try to load them (by clicking on the axial series), nothing happens.

Not sure this will be something that I can solve on my own, but the power of this program is my ability to segment certain bones from one another, although it is labour intensive. (Humerus from the scapula)

Yes, sure, just load what you need by selecting the series that you are interested in. If you select an entire patient or entire study then Slicer will try to load all the associated series, including those that are not usable for much or cannot be even imported (scout scans, dose reports, secondary captures, etc.).

You can click Advanced checkbox and examine metadata to make sure that is a valid series. You may also check application logs to see if any error is reported.

If you think that something should be possible to load but it does not work then you may send us anonymized version of the data that we can analyze.

Hi

I am trying to load the DICOM data and it is really hard…

I can now get the data to load partly but the scans are not there in there in their entirety…. part of them are cut off…

I have included a screen shot of what is happening…What is the problem? You can see that a large part of the image is cropped even thought the entire series has been loaded.

FYI…OSIRIX loads them fine, but I am unable to segment in that application.

Any thoughts?

Marty

You may have loaded multiple series. You can choose in Data module what is shown.

You may also align slice views with the volume’s acquisition planes (click “Rotate to volume plane” button in the slice view controller).
