Perhaps you can also ask some questions via this route. 

```

Which file is best to work with to convert it to an STL? my colleague has a samsung accuvix.  
She saves the files via cartesian but the problem is that I cannot open these files? Is there a program for this that I can download?  
in the slicer I can only open photos and no mvl files? What could be the cause of this? Thank you very much for your time!  
mvg Sofie

This topic may help: [Samsung SonoAce 4D ultrasound mvl file loading](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/samsung-sonoace-4d-ultrasound-mvl-file-loading/12452/5)

If you can share example (anonymized or non-patient) images then we can tell you what is doable with the images that you have.

Ok thanks!

```
I will definitely see if it works like this.

It’s an mvl file but I can’t get it uploaded here?  
She also forwarded these files, I don’t know if you like this?  
Can you also advise me a program to open these files on my pc? I keep getting an error message. (with an mvl. file)  
thank you for your time!  
Happy holidays in advance

I can’t find such beautiful images as you in the files? I follow all the steps you take in your video but only get this? Am I doing something wrong? or should I keep looking? 🙂 thank you for your time ![slicer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/slicer/original/3X/c/1/c14139eb28ff7231f92e0a0e8507c42b9bd75754.jpeg)

You need to slightly increase/decrease the X, Y, Z dimensions until the rows line up.
