Operating system: Windows 10  
Slicer version:4.7  
Expected behavior: Chest Imaging Platform body comp and parenchyma subtype training working  
Actual behavior: Unable to color in tissue on body comp, Fiducial points for different types showing up as “F-1, F-2…” instead of “nodule,carina,etc.”

I think I need to go through a DICOM reader and export them as a different file before uploading them to Slicer, but I don’t know what DICOM reader to use.

If you see the CT image appear correctly in Slicer then it is not likely that the issue is with DICOM reading.

@raul can you help here?
