Hello everyone.  
I am using the latest stable version of 3Dslicer and I came across a problem:  
I want to open DICOM images as a single series and be able to view them consequently, however the software recognizes each of the images as a single series. I tried running patching to no avail. I would really appreciate if Some one could give me some pointers on what to do.  
Thank you all very much  
Sincerely  
Moe
