DICOM loading - Could not load: Unnamed Series as a Scalar Volume

Support
1

Hi there.
I’m trying to load DICOM files downloaded from the Aneurisk database, specifically patient C0051 (AneuriskWeb).
I’m getting the ‘Could not load: Unnamed Series as a Scalar Volume’ error, and having a look at the metadata there’s some fields missing (I’ve tried adding in Patient Name and Patient ID and the problem still persists).

I’ve had a look at the DICOM documentation (Documentation/4.10/FAQ/DICOM - Slicer Wiki) but I can’t figure out what fields I’m missing. I’m using pydicom to add in any metadata I’m missing. Could someone please help me figure out what extra fields I need?

Thankyou!

These are pretty poorly formed files so you’ll need to dig around to figure them out.

Be sure to see the latest documenation: https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/modules/dicom.html#troubleshooting

One thing to investigate is dciodvfy.

It points to several issues:
