Problem importing a Volumen With a Phillips affinity 50

Support
1

Hi. I’ve been practicing with the 3dSlicer and My 3d ultrasound volumes. I have a phillips Affinity 50 but I’m having a problem when I import the dicom volume into the program, the sagital and coronal images seems smaller in the FOV dimensions not like the axial volume.
That happens in the 3d slicer because in the ultrasound machine seems the same size.
Any ideas?

How did you import the image? Did you install SlicerHeart extension? Did you use the DICOM module to import and load the image? Are there any warnings or errors in the application log?

I already installed the SlicerHeart extensions. I think that I used the DICOM module to import and load the image. And I didn’t get any warnings or errors.

Here is the DICOM file of the volume.

Thank you for sharing the image. I’ve found the root cause of the issue (slice spacing is not stored in public DICOM fields but only in private ones) and update SlicerHeart module to be able to load the images with correct spacing.

Reinstall SlicerHeart extension tomorrow or later to get the updated version. When you import the data, drag-and-drop the folder that contains the file (not the file) to Slicer and choose DICOM import. Then load the data set from the DICOM browser.

Load the data using DICOM browser:

When I’m trying to load the volume in the DICOM browser it says this:

SlicerHeart did not get built for Windows last night (see dashboard), maybe due to moving of Kitware’s headquarter. Hopefully the build will be completed tomorrow. If there is no SlicerHeart update in a few days then let us know and we’ll investigate.

Hi Antonio,

I can’t get the 3D volume file out of my affinity 50. On DICOM-Export only the pictures and videos are copied. The 3D files are simply ignored and not copied to USB stick.

Can you tell me how you do it?

Thanks a lot!

I found it. The check mark in the settings was not set for 3D export.

This question has been already asked here:

@emanuel_ozcoidi Ii would like to ask two things for the future for making your participation on this forum a bit moreefficient for everyone:

  • Please avoid posting the same question to multiple places. It increases the work for people to answer it and you may even start parallel discussions, which lead to even more wasted efforts. If you wanted to hear from specific people then you can @mention them in your post.
  • If you are not confident in writing in English then please take the time to copy your native language text to Google Translate (or any of the freely available automated translation services) and paste the translated text into your forum post. You can also add your original text as a reference, using the “Hide Details” feature of the Discourse text editor to make the text hidden by default. It takes 1-2 minutes for you to do this and with that you save 1 minute for every reader of your post.
