Hello,

I’m looking to:

- import thin (0.5 mm) slice CT DICOM series (multiple per patient) in the axial projection
- create orthogonal coronal and sagittal views of each series
- export as DICOM files
- so can be viewed in all 3 planes on external viewers without MPR capabilities

I’ve tried to follow the guides and even YouTube videos alongside advice on this Discourse but I never seem to actually get the orthogonal projections exported within the DICOM. Please may I ask whether this possible and am I just being silly? If so, please may someone direct me towards any guides for this?

Thanks so much!  
Alan

Try the Orient Scalar Volume module to create new volumes and then you can export them to dicom.

Dear Steve,

Many thanks, I’ll look into this!
