I always receive this message if the path of DICOM includes any Chinese character. You may rename the folders using only English characters (ASCII code) and load the DICOM again.

I agree, it’s probably the character ‘ó’ in the path. Unfortunately this is a limitation that is very hard to get rid of, see

No special, international characters are allowed. You’ve tried to load the data set from the folder name C:/Users/P???czek typu gniazdko/Desktop/… folder, which contained a special character.

I’ve added a warning popup when somebody wants to import DICOM files from a folder that contains special characters using drag-and-drop (see [here](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/commit/45e98d37f16375a620931c622656a16484cf1b3d)), but I did not have time to implement this for the case when the Import button is pressed. It would be nice if somebody could add the warning popup there, too.

Nice Andras 👍

If someone has time to really dig into this, another nice feature would be to add a link to the [Slicer DICOM FAQ](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.10/FAQ/DICOM) or other help (e.g. as part of the dialog when zero instances are imported). It’s a little tricky since that dialog is [implemented in CTK](https://github.com/commontk/CTK/blob/cccef11c938cc946789ddb25ccc613287a33c56e/Libs/DICOM/Widgets/ctkDICOMBrowser.cpp#L119). I guess it could be extended to have a QString property to display as a label when zero instances are imported.

Hi -

Looks like you have the same problem as [the post you replied to](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/dicom-import-fails-0-new-patients/6419). Can you try again with only ascii characters in the path? (also see [this post](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/special-characters/5398)).
