hi, is there any way for me to view and annotate (i.e. draw lines on) ultrasound images (2D, cine loop of 2D frames, not 3D) using Slicer/extensions/anything else?

This is what the image directory that I exported from the GE logiq s8 scanner looks like.

I’m all set. I was shown how to use the Data module to read each frame as an independent file, which is what I needed.
