Good morning, I have a doubt as to the extensions that the program can upload. In my case I need to load a cartesian volume file with .vol extension to edit it and convert it into a 3D STL model. Is it possible to do this with 3D Slicer?

i try different extension to save image in volume in voluson s8 dicom, uncompressed 4dv, cartesian volume, (vol, raw). could you tell me where is extension for nightly 3d slicer?? thank you

The importer is provided by SlicerHeart extension.

Hi everybody. I have also problems as mentioned above. I have several studies performed with GE Voluson S8 and S10, and Siemens acuson x300. All three US have convex probe. I have nightly version od Slicer and have installed SlicerHeart extension but still can’t do anything. When I try to upload .…

hi kopachini. same problem. i instaled slice heart also, import vol, dicom, and other format doesnt appear anything. could someone help more detailed how to load. thank you so much

Anybody who has GE/Kretz ultrasound volumes that fails to load after installing SlicerHeart extension: please upload anonymized or phantom datasets to a file sharing service and send me the link in private message so that I can investigate.

The files that you have uploaded were compressed. Loading of compressed files are not supported. However, I was able to load it into GE’s 4D-View software and from there save it as “3D Cart. vol.” (3D Cartesian volume). I was able to load this Cartesian volume file into Slicer successfully. I just h…

Hi Andras, sorry, I haven’t been able to find how I can send private messages. I’ve been trying to load a GE Kretz ultrasound volume (.vol) given to me by a sonographer. After installing the SlicerHeart Extension I was able to load a few of the supplied files, but I wasn’t able to visualise the v…

Image 6_2 looked good for me. I’ve used Segment Editor module’s Threshold effect to create surface and then Scissors effect to remove irrelevant parts and got this: [image] Scene file: download . This segmentation is usable for 3D printing. After that, I’ve used Margin effect to grow the segmenta…

thanks so much for all these valuable tips and getting back so quickly! I’m going to try and replicate your workflow. I’m wondering about why the other files aren’t working. If I asked the sonographer to re-supply some data, how would I need to describe the type of data that’s supported by Slicer?…

Couldn’t find out how to send a private message. here is some data that I couldn’t get to import. Came up with ‘Voxel data not found’
