Hi all,

How can I identify a the file name of a single slice in a loaded 3D DICOM volume? I have loaded a DICOM directory with several hundred slices, but after I have identified a single slice of interest, I would like to know which file name it is.

Thanks

You can get the k (slice) index in the dataprobe and then look up the instanceUID in the attributes, which allows you to look up the filename in the database. (Use k instead of 0 in this example and filename will the the one you are looking for.
