Operating system: windows 10  
Slicer version: 4.10.1  
Expected behavior: Add dicom datas from MRI and create a 3D printable model  
Actual behavior: Can’t add the datas into DICOM folder, if I import them into the “add data” folder I get each single slice instead of one single study and I canìt create an accurate 3d model

I also tried to use the Embodi3D app Democratiz 3D but this time it failed saying that my " NRRD file originated from an MRI. Currently, we only process NRRDs from CT scans." and “You tried to process individual slices instead of a complete study.”

Thank you for your help, this work is really important to me and I’d love to fix the problem quite soon.

DICOM data should be imported using the `File -> DICOM` instead of `File -> Add Data`

To learn more about the DICOM support in Slicer, read [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.10/Modules/DICOM](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.10/Modules/DICOM)

Yeah, I’m tryin’ to import DICOM data using the `File -> DICOM` (instead of `File -> Add Data` ) but it doesn’t work, nothing happens, it only says “0 patients added”

Also, to follow up, even after installing the suggested extensions `LongitudinalPETCT`, `PETDICOMExtension` and `QuantitativeReporting`, I was not able to load the dataset you shared privately with me.

For reference the pop initially reported was:

and the message reported after trying to load the dataset once the extensions are installed:

```auto
Dataset is missing necessary information (patient name, study instance UID, or patient ID)!
Dataset is missing necessary information (patient name, study instance UID, or patient ID)!
[...]

```

Thank you really much for tryin’ to help me, it’s appreciated. I’ll try to figure out something else…☹
