I have imported a series of DICOM files “a skull”, but it shows just all slides seperated. How can I merge them?![Screenshot01|690x376](upload://jHLyIQxSvtlOjuUgvIRG [Screenshot02] Uoy5ahW.png) Thank you very much!

My CT scan is seperated into different dicom files. Everyone is a little layer. How can I merge them? I use 4.8.1 on Windows 10. [Screenshot01] [Screenshot02] [Screenshot03]

It is recommended to load all DICOM files by drag-and-dropping the folder (not a single file, not multiple files, but the parent folder) to the application screen then click OK in the popup to load directory into DICOM database. After importing is completed, you can load data sets into the scene usi…

Dear Mr Lasso, thank you very much for your reply. I have done exactly that, what you have described. But then nothing is loaded. [Screenshot01] [Screenshot02] [Screenshot03]

Clear the DICOM database folder or choose a different DICOM folder and use latest nightly build of Slicer. It should all work correctly then. If you have further issues then follow instructions on the DICOM FAQ page . If those instructions don’t help or you have other questions then feel free to pos…

I solved the problem. I have to drag it as “AnyData” and then disselect “Single file”. This worked well with one test CT (34 pictures). But now I have a CT with 2300 pictures. I do not want to manually disselect all as “Single file”. Is there an easier way? Thx!

If you are going through the Add Data dialog, then just add one file from the series, uncheck SingleFile and it will find the others. but the dicom suggestions @lassoan suggested are good too.

Hi, I also have the same problem. However, I am so new to 3D slicer. Even after I read this thread, I still had no idea how I can merge the individual DICOM volumes. Can anyone give me some more detail about what to do next after all the DICOM files are loaded into the data base? [image]

I am not sure whether the new version of 3D slicer change the interface. I finally figure it out by myself: Just for green user like me In the manual, click “File” and then “Add data”. The “Single file” option will only shows up if you check the “show options” checkbox. Also, sometime because the…

FYI, we always recommend that you use the DICOM module for importing DICOM data to handle sorting and identification of different scan types at a higher level. https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/data_loading_and_saving.html#dicom-data

Hi, Pieper. Can you be more specific? If I used DICOM module, the DICOM files will load into 3D slicer as multiple independant nodes (or called volume?). The DICOM files exported from our CT scanner only contain one instance for each DICOM file. I am new to this field and I am wondering if there i…
