Import RTSS-DICOM files (Already SlicerRT is Installed)


I want to import DICOM-RTSS files, and then want to convert to DICOM seg format.

But there is something error that i can see in the python script,
"Python 3.9.10 (main, May 19 2024, 23:18:48) [MSC v.1939 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

[Python] Please install SlicerRT extension to enable loading of DICOM RT Structure Set objects
[Python] Please install SlicerRT extension to enable loading of DICOM RT Structure Set objects"

However, I already downloaded the “SLicer RT” extension as you can see in the picture.

How can I solve this problem?
I guess there is something wrong with the extension settings…

The error in the Python message in the screenshot suggests that you did not load the file using the DICOM browser, but as a regular file. Sorry if this is basic but after selecting the study (and with that all the series) did you click the Load button on the bottom (as visible in the first screenshot)?

Update: After installing an extension you need to restart Slicer, this may be another source of problem.

(This is Rt structure DICOM (DICOM-RTSS) file’s metadata )

I did click the DICOM-RTSS file and clicked the load button on the bottom.

But i can still see the python script as " Please install SlicerRT extension to enable loading of DICOM RT Structure Set objects "

If I just import normal MR images, it shows normally.


The problem has been solved.
When I installed extension, I didn’t run the program as an administrator option.

After I deleted the extension, I ran the program with the administrator option, then reinstalled the extension and ran the program again (with the administrator option).

Thank you.

Great! Special thanks for sharing the solution!
