Hello,  
I am wondering what it means when Slicer says 2. Select export type: Scalar Volume (50%, 1 series) (DICOMScalarVolumePlugin) after right clicking my data and selecting Export to DICOM… Could you please explain what the 50% in scalar volume export type means? Also, it seems this is the only export type option.  
Thanks,  
Emily

The percentage value quantifies the confidence of the exporter that it can export the series correctly. 50% corresponds “fairly confident” (usually only specialized exporters claim \>50% confidence).
